Thinking about doing a DIY TTB Dana 50HD

[bcaine]

I picked up that same axle a month or two back and have followed your past build, many times thinking I wish I'd just gone with a 150.

I've just picked up a pair of scrap steel wheels to weld to some steel and use as a jig at my final desired wms distance.

Can't wait to see how you go about this build!

Thanks Scotty, still in training.

bcaine, found your build and subscribed. Why would you rather have had a 150?

Here is a guy who is way braver than I am ( cut out the entire cross member and replaced it with one from a TTB ) and also a pioneer in the van TTB.

Since I cant buy the expertise in the area I think I will just post what I learn in this thread and maybe it will help others who decide to go this route with a DIY TTB.
