hey everyone new to the forum . working on a 6.4 hemi swap on a 76 frame right now and hoping to find a wide track body to replace the narrow track that i have that was kind of hacked up . some progress pics

more pics

more pics of frame boxed and crossmember added

up to date

Nice work on the frame and good luck finding a WT body! Looks like this will be another fun build to watch.

Lots of nice parts there

Welcome aboard from Oklahoma!

Looking good! You're lucky you can burn metal.

Your exhaust goes where the tank normally resides, I take it you have an alternate plan.

behind the axle fuel cell offset to passenger side

For a wide track body, I know threepiece has been selling off a lot of his hoard. He used to have some bodies. Not sure if he still does.

You can maybe message and ask him: memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=8809

Also, this guy was selling a WT project:

Regarding the flanges for the rear D60, are you going with unit bearings? If so, what manufacture?

yes that is correct . 05+ superduty unit bearings on all 4 corners . the rear flanges are wide open design

I looked at the site. Do you have to add a radial seal of some type or RTV to keep gear oil from traveling past the bearing and from leaking onto the garage floor?

i used seals it economy inner axle seals

I like it!

a couple steps backwards and some forward haha . had to re do the exhaust as it sat to high and wouldnt clear the upper links for the 4 link since i decide to go that route after many back and forth between leaf springs . fuel cell coming out for a tanks inc hot rod FI ready tank . also found the new rig this will go under

more progress .

link setup is 2"x.250 dom lowers and 1-1/2 x1.20 wall uppers with johnny joints , coilovers are just 10" travel universal fox 2.0 with 7/8" shaft
overall this should be pretty close to 6" lift so not much different than in the pic above , axles are wide trac width so tires will be inside the flares
