Title: Unlimited Funds Mud Truck Big Block in and Big Shocks installed
Post by: BC775 on July 16, 2012, 05:04:09 PM
the name came from my buddy but im sure it has been used before. Anywho... this is the start of my second bogger. the frame is built out of 6x2 1/4 wall thing is solid for sure but it is actually pretty light. with the frame rails and cradle it wieghed right around 475lbs. im going to have fourlink front and rear with coil springs. going to run a dana 60 front with hyd. steering. got a corporate 14 bolt rear. both with 4:56 gears. im running a stock 400 sbc right now. i already started on a 406 for the future. turbo 350 trans and a 205 t case. not 100% sure on what body im going to through on it but im pretty excited about this thing.

Man thats all I do. Lol

The front truss is about $300 shipped to the door and the rear was $225. but i tell you what worth every penny. i couldnt build these things for what i paid for them.

Post by: BC775 on August 01, 2012, 09:39:13 PM
the front comes with the diff cover too. its a 3/8" thick where the bolts mount up to the big and 1/4" thick for the cover. the braces are all half inch thick so they arent going to break.

Post by: BC775 on August 06, 2012, 04:06:26 AM
actually ive done everything the way i wanted to do it so far. im slow at my shop right now so ive been getting like 8 hours a day to work on the truck, so its not super rushed. my big thing i have next fab wise is my roll cage, but i might just get one from jegs since i dont have bender or notcher. plus its hard to make a twelve point cage for 400 bucks.
Title: Re: Unlimited Funds Mud Truck Project
Post by: michigan maniac on August 07, 2012, 01:46:00 AM
Sound like you need two fat friends and a steel rim loll
Title: Re: Unlimited Funds Mud Truck Project
Post by: BC775 on August 07, 2012, 05:13:02 PM
the tire setup im going to be running. they measure out at 42" tall. 12" wide. if anyone is interested in running the setup for there one tons let me know i can get a whole package together for around $2000. thats 4 tires, rims, center hubs cut out for a 6.5 8 lug, inner tubes and whatever color paint you want. its a much cheaper alternative than a bogger and will weigh right around 150lbs.
Title: Re: Unlimited Funds Mud Truck Project
Post by: BC775 on August 13, 2012, 01:53:03 PM

no smoke at all which was wierd. i had an over heat issue too, and i kept loosing coolant from boiling out the rad so im assuming the head gasket went. the engine is still cranking over and everything. im gonna do a compression test and a leak down test before i tear it apart.

Ur better off making a 350 block a 400 with the right bore and stroke combo.

he wanted 1800 (way too much it seems to me), so i told him i wanna hear it run before i give you any coin and he said that was fine. brought it back put it in the truck bought a water pump, headers, and some other stuff to get it going had 250.00 in it before starting it. just to find it was junk and he wont budge on the price so its going back to his old home.

yeah then thy don't hook as good, sure they turn over easier but the loss of traction by not cutting them makes it a wash. But by cutting them you create more traction and a loss of a lot of weight in turn making ten turn over easier

Some people do say if u dont cut the ones on the front u can turn easier but thats boggers
yeah then thy don't hook as good, sure they turn over easier but the loss of traction by not cutting them makes it a wash. But by cutting them you create more traction and a loss of a lot of weight in turn making ten turn over easier

plus less rotating mass less axles shafts being snapped, u-joints are saved and you get some nasty wheel speed.

Did you buy a set of bloggers yet? If not pm me, I have a like new set.   I must say the rig is top notch also, I've been thinking about building a buggy or truggy.  Very cool build, great job !

No i ended up Getting 4 of those 18.4-16.1 tractor tires which measure out to be the same height and width is a 44" bogger. Thanks For checking it out and building a truck from scratch was way more fun than trying to use a pickup. The options are limitless when you build your own.
