1960 International R-190 4X4 build. DT360 / Eaton 6 speed / NP271 / F550 Frame

[Wild one]

Hell yeah, I can reuse the F550 shock mounts . This just saved me a ton of work.

And this is the oil pan at full drop.


I also just got my Tracking number for that custom T-case to Eaton 6 speed adapter .

It'll self clearance if you really bottom it out hard
Looking good Ian,at the rate you're going,you should be able to use it to make the move to the new digs

Ill give it an extra 1/2" when I set the bumpstop height with the airbags

I could also add another leaf in the pack , but that sounds retarded and that's what a normal sane person would do.

Or, you could cut out a 1/2" or 3/4" spacer and mount it to the bottom of the leaf. Only cost and trouble is cutting it and a new center bolt.

I've done that a few times.

You "sane" now that made me laugh,there's nothing father from the truth

I think I will copy this design for my frame side track bar bracket today

Also will need to modify the one thats on the Dana60

Havent used the plasma table in like 6 weeks. Thats some bullsh!t I need to rectify...lol...

TMR customs is awesome, its acutally only 76$ Cdn for that piece. Not even worth building it at that price. But Like everything else on my build, it wouldn't fit without any modification on my truck.





And I also found a decently priced Gen 3 Dodge NP271 T-case shift lever on eBay this morning, The ford one was engineered by ******* morons.

 

[DILLIGAF]

Hell yeah, this thing f**** hard, this is my first pass on auto set just to try it.

Cant belive I found this, Time to make it in CAD and get it ready to cut on the plasma table.

 

[DILLIGAF]

Designed a simple Power Steering cooler bracket , My Howe Performance bypass also shipped yesterday

 

[DILLIGAF]

Today was a good day.

F550 hydrobost installed. Ordered a bunch of fittings and hose to hook everything up.

Shock is pretty close to the bag, I'll cut some 1/4 spacers on the plasma to move out the mounting bracket. Will also cut top protectors for the bags. As the included ones are absolute dog **** that just collect garbage and rust out.

I did install some Air lift cradles as well. To make up the difference so the internal bump stops hit.

The T-Case adapter also showed up.

Got my buddy to make my high pressure PS line. A 4000psi hose should be good enough

Damn are you running the hydraulic pump off a John Deere for your power steering pump

 

[DILLIGAF]

Dont worry the low pressure side will all be AN fittings Those morons at Ford sure like making everything more complicated with all different thread pitch on the Hydroboost and PS box. Must be why they like to eat **** so much.

But I wanted some good hose in that area due to the fact that I cant secure it all properly. Will also wrap it with hydraulic hose protector.

Amazing stuff!

The price of fittings has sky rocketed in the last 1/2 dozen years or so,

Have you ever thought of narrating your video's Ian,it'd be good to have some measurements/heights etc. included with your video's

 

[DILLIGAF]

Sounds like work, no thanks I got to install this next anyways
This one should have at least a foot of drop so my flat deck can hit the ground.

 

[DILLIGAF]

Waiting on my Amazon order so I put the bumper on and tested the bags

I'm putting on 40s so that bumper will be 4" off the ground at full drop. It's the price to pay to keep it 4x4 . But having a Dana60 high pinion up front is cooler
