@@bryanst.martin7134 both Ford axles are rated as one ton axles from the factory. The class of racing I am doing is split between tire size only. 43" and below is the small tire class. 44" and above is the big tire class.
@@heavymetaloff-road Interesting. I built a Hotchkiss style 9" with large bearings to fit a 1964 Chevelle SS Malibu Convertible. It was necessary because the underside was smoother than the top side... 4wh power Disc Brakes, PS, telescoping tilt wheel steering, 19"x 12" rear wheels, 16"x10" front. Lowered wayy down. New floors to allow for TH350, digital dash. Too much to list, but sweet is a good characterization.
@@heavymetaloff-road What is your GVWR? All up weight? HP intended? I was Modifying a 32' former US Customs catamaran with detainee hold, to a nice walkaround,, when next to me was a young man cutting and welding a Truggy with 5 Ton axles. Didn't set too well with me as it was 54 outside and I need 72 for resin to kick off. He didn't like the volatiles, and neither did I. But the smell does away faster if you let it cure! Anyway the axle looks military grade, and I might consider Aluminum, but I am a puppy wandering around your shop at this point. Nice work though.
@@bryanst.martin7134 sounds like a sweet build. This project should come in right about 4,000 lb, 500 horsepower with a naturally aspirated 351 Windsor. I like my Ford power
@@heavymetaloff-road Me too! First on race day baby! Chevy beat Ferrari when? I rebuilt a 70 302 in my Muskrat. It went from Torrence (So LA) to La Mesa (East San Diego) in 1 hour. Missus asked when they painted all the solid white lines on I-5? "they're still dots Honey, Don't distract me..."
So good!
That’s a good idea to use an oven that you can pull out n put in rather quickly.
@@jasoncampbell4723 thanks! It worked rather well.
1st visit, is this for 5 ton class?

You need to learn how to weld.
@@sherwinstaudt1881 I need to learn how to weld TIG. That would be a nice notch in the belt.
