I have been kicking around the idea of swapping the axles out under my 63' Wagon for a long stinking time, well it's finally time and now I am trying to decide exactly what to do. The truck will be street driven mainly, and when off road it won't be anything too serious... No jumps and high speed stuff.
The only thing I am dead set on is swapping axles, and will probably lenghten the wheelbase out the front a few inches, it's 104.5 stock. I am sure a 33" tire will be plenty big on it. These are what I have thought of so far
- Leaf springs
- Unilink with coils
- Unilink with Nitrogen/Air shock
- Or??? Open for suggestions
The motor is the stock Super Hurrican 226, stock tranny, stock double reduction gear case, has a PTO winch, that looks to have come stock.
Axles I am pretty open on too, the stockers lasted 45 years.
