I'm going to post this in here because it kinda covers a few topics and didn't seem to fit in any one thread. A while back I got a 52 Chevy COE, then sold it and now own it again (it never actually moved from my yard). I have since sold the ramp truck I was going to use for a body so now it's a new direction. I would like to make it 4x4 with a shorter flat bed. Oh and use 46x20" military michelins with bead locks so it looks like a Unimog.
Here's my dilema:
-I have a set of dana 60 front and 14B chevy rear I can use with 4.56:1 gears
OR
-I also have a set of 5 ton rockwells that have 6.43:1 gears.
Will the rockwells be too heavy if the truck is powered by a cadillac 500?
Will the 1 ton axles be too light for the big 46" military tires and rims?
thanks in advance [P
