Did you have to do anything special for the LED lights? Do they blink fast?

No nothing special. They blink like factory.

Just dreaming here but I realized I have 2 hx35s, an h1c, and the he351 that is on the truck.

Is two hx35s feeding the he351 feasible?

I wish I could find a nice set of 3/4 ton diesel axles. I really like the way yours looks

Me too :P

With over 300k on both.... the sloppy d70 makes the truck slam into gear hard. Both wheel seals soaking the rims :mrgreen:

Front isn't terrible but it needs ujoints & seals and likely kingpin maintenance.

Yup awesome old truck. If only I could see the whole thing in one picture lol. Maybe if you took a far away pic it would look normal sized to those of us with dumb computers, and/or operators. :lol:

My phone automatically resizes them so I don't have an issue. This really wants to make me convert mine to 4x4. I need to find a donor drivetrain.

4x4 definitely makes it a do it all kinda truck. And the look of a utiline 4x4 can't be beat 8)

Probably help at the track too :)

I know I'd like to run this someday when it's worthy....aka a half decent transmission
