Yeah, Paul, I know a little.
D44s front and rear. On the 170 you could get a Dual Rear Wheel setup, still a 44, but heavier duty.
They were offset, with the Dana 18 transfer case. Drum brakes. 10 and eventually 19 spline.
lifted79cj7 wroteI love those thing just cause they are so awkward looking. They just always look like a brake slam inch away from flipping on it's face!!
My dad had a FC-150 for a while. It had this huge weight that hung between the rear frame rails. Was cool too, cause it had a "U" in it, so that the rear PTO shaft could pass through it. That thing was fawking heavy.
Cool trucks. Seen a few with V-8 conversions.
