So. I've decided I'm going to build my first mud truck. I'm getting a rear axle with 373 gears 241 tcase and a 350 tbi motor. I'm also getting a 4l60e trans but its blown so I think I want to just find a th350. I don't have much money. So this is not going to be the baddest truck around but it'll do for now. If anyone has some spare parts they don't want like springs or a front axle or a 350 trans. I don't care if it needs to be rebuilt. If you guys could donate to my cause that would be sweet. Thanks guys and I look forward to a great experience building this.
I got parts you can buy but cant give stuff away. lol I got a d44 6 lug $50 needs axle shaft also got d60 and 14ff? I also have a 4" lift for 73-87 chevys (not sure what your building you didnt say lol) I also have a roller parts bogger I might sell lifted caged and on 1 tons :)
Build what you can afford and have fun with it :)

That's what I'm trying to do lol. But with my girlfriend in the hospital I'm only working 3 shifts a week and I'm not bringing in much money. So I want to get something together before she gets out so when she does we have a toy to play with.

How much for the roller parts bogger? What is it? And I was thinking about using a jeep with Chevy drive train make it light and fast!
the best thing you can do is buy a truck running and moving it will cost you less all the way around.
Well I have the whole drive train less the front axle. I need a frame, body, Springs and all the little little stuff.
Its a 76 chevy body its all gutted and light weight it needs a lot of work $1600 obo its a short box wheel base. Needs steering brakes alots of welding lol

I barely have 160 dollars let alone 1600. Lol.
your best bet if you barley have 160$ is to go buy a tracker and run it till it breaks. then upgrade cheapest way to go
I might have just found everything I need.

or s10 blazer, or rusty fullsize, or mail jeep...something that retains it value in scrap. not so much a bogger, but a 'mounds beater'

Lucky me I live with in 20 mins of 4 or 5 different bogs. I might have just found everything i need to build one less some 40 inch tires. Lol.
Good luck on ur build, you will find that once you start into it it will cost you a lot more that. What you think it will... all the .little stuff really starts to add up fast. Lol
ok looks like my father in law is giving me a 305 and a 2wd turbo350 so im going with a divorced tcase. any one got one super cheap that they could help me out with?
i dont really care what you build but i can tell you from my own experiences that once you get to making what ever it is your making even the dam bolts start to cost a lot. just be truthful with your self about what you want to make. it has to be realistic to your wallet. oh ya one more thing dont go thinkin your ol lady is just going to jump right in after being in the hospital.mine wont even get in my truck
the drive shaft for between the trans and tcase are not cheap. Im assuming its a chevy divorce 205 passenger drop? you can swap the tailshaft housings on the trans from 2 wheel to 4 wheel. if your interested i might be able to come up with the 4 wheel adapter and a 205 or 208 mated case to trade for your divorce 205. on a side note all the lil stuff you mention adds up real quick. The last 1 i built my bill at the hardware alone was near $750. My 2 cents.... sell your extra parts and by a cheap running driving beater and have a blast, wish ya Good luck either way ++peace
I actually don't have a tcase. I'm looking for one. If you had an adapter for a 205 that would be sweet and how much could I get it for from ya?
ill check with a buddy see if he still has en
thanks! ++peace
I came up with a name. Project low budget. Lol
I changed it to no budget because I'm using free parts to build it. Lol. And I'm getting a th350 with a 203 tcase. Pics of the motor tear down will be up soon :)
Motor work.
More. Once it is all clean its going to be painted fluorescent orange with flat black heads timing cover and oil pan.
got any ideas of what kind of body and frame your using
Wanna do an 80's style Chevy shortbox. Just picked up a trans and tcase today.

Lol its mud and grease and dirt and oil lol. I'm gunna power wash it tomorrow.
Low budget is always good lol, it adds up fast.... looks lime ur on a good start, what u running fee axels? Got a trailer yet?
Hopefully 3/4 tons with 410 gears but I don't know if the deal will happen or not. And Yup its a little beat up but it'll work.
Keep working at it with a ground up just try to keep in mind a realistic time frame. Broke and trying to come up with.parts dont always mix well lol bin there done that one it suck
I just power washed it dryed it all put the new lifters, cam, timing chain, and push rods in. Now its time to tape it all off and paint it. I'm hoping to be done by trucks gone wild. That seems pretty realistic to me anyway. Lol.
starting to paint it today. got the heads drying right now then gunna start painting the block
what vehicle you gonna put this drive train into ?
Cool, i loved my shortbox chevys but finding a decent one these days are very rare
Got the motor almost done. I just threw it together for the pics. Still gotta touch up some spots.
++peace
Getting a free edlebrock performer intake from a buddy.
Looking good, going to ready for spring? Seems like you are cooking with gas lol....
Lol I wish. My goal is for it to be done by august. Test and tune and first bog with be trucks gone wild!
IMO I would try test n tune sometime before, nothing worship than wait for something that you are really looking foward to and find out you over looked something. Then you might not just run it anyway and do a lot of damage to all that hard work.
No I'm saying get it done by august. Test and tune the weekends prior to TGW and have it ready to go on the 23rd
Gotcha
What does "IMO" mean?
in my opinion
Good luck merc There is nothing better than being able to run the truck you build the first time!! when you frustrated dont stop just keep on chugging
Looks like I'm at a stand still until I get a frame springs and axles.
Get a hold of a guy on here names Wicked he has a frame for sale!!
i know where there is a willys jeep you might be able to pick up for some labor or tradin or somthing.its been sitting owner just lost intrest. its a 46 its not in bad shape.i could ask him if ya want i know he wants somebody to take care of it and his mom wants it out of the yard. I REALLY WANNA SEE A WILLYS W/ A 350
just take your time and do it right man, dont rush or cut corners, first truck i built took me two weeks to build and it broke every damn time i took it out haha. But i learned what to do and not to do thats for sure. just build the thing to have fun and enjoy bogging. Its became my favorite thing to do in my life. dont try to go all king sling on your first build haha

I know that's what I want to get, but with my financial situation I think I'm going to be forced to just run the 203 for now. 203 is still a decent tcase though, right?
it is just heavy
it feels like more than that, i can carry my 205 fairly easy compared to a 203 lol.
Well I'm putting motor trans and tcase in all in one shot with a cherry picker lol.
Motor and trans won't be a problem, you might have to do t case from under neath.
203 should be fine till you can get a 205, it just have as good of gear reduction as the 205. I think a 205 is just a lil bit better.
It all takes time, and of course depending on how you want to eventually build it up to, $. Eventually u find what you want and or something better and then you are back to rebuilding it again.
I'm just trying to throw something together. Something I can do over the summer. Just take it out, beat the snot out of it. Put it away and do it all again the next Saturday. If it breaks it breaks and ill fix it when ever I get time.

I'll have pics of all my new goodies Friday lol.
Nothing wrong with a 203 I ran one for years. People don't like them but I never had any issues. Ended up picking up 2 spares for free. Same gear ratio as 205 but chain driven instead if gear, but the chain in the 203 is a monster
Well I had a change in plans. Ended up getting a Weiland single plane intake and a Holley 600cfm single pump carb along with a set of 194cc stick heads with some minor valve work.
==roxs sounds like everything is coming together nicely it should run good whatever ya choose to put it in :)
I got the new heads painted today. I got the new camshaft sprocket and timing chain installed. Timing cover gasket installed, head gaskets on, heads on, push rods in, intake gaskets on, intake on, and the carb is bolted up. Now just need valve covers and distributer. I also have to paint and re-install the oil pan.
Pmed ya

now all i need is a vehicle to put it in. i really want a jeep. like an old willys or cj. that would be sweet but i have no money and all i have to trade is a snowmobile and a mini bike that looks like a chopper. lol
Sounds like everything will be ready for the vehicle keep pics coming sounds like your plan is coming together congrats on that
Do you have a frame?
Keep an eye out on cl, u might find something on there.
I'm hoping to get my hands on a really bad a$$ truck for this project. The owner/my boss of my local paintball field might just have exactly what I want. I'm hoping he will let me work it off. I'm excited and I hope I'm able to make a deal with him. This truck I'm getting, well might be getting, I'm not going to say what it is yet but ill tell you this. It already has a set of 50% tread 37" tsl's ;D
Nice
Wellllllll here's some pics... I'm pumped!
And I'm hoping to pic this up from work soon! ;D going to re-paint it all O.D. green with a white star on the hood with some made up numbers to make it look cool. I don't know anything about it lol. It's got a set of axles under it they almost look like rockwells but they look smaller. It would be cool if someone could help me figure out what I have here.
Thanks! ==wgm
Wasn't able to get the one with the tsl's :( but its still a sweet lookin rig!
Motor lookin good!

the carb is just sitting on it rite? im just asking cuz its on backwards in the picks and 1 more thing u mite want to think about
is turning the headers the other way around. im saying that becuse i just got a set for my big block and theres hardly any room between the header and the master for the brakes just something to think about good luck

It's a divorced transfer case so if u made ur th350 2wd u could use it and it would be better to use. And also would retain the bigger yolkes for the driveshafts

Kinda funny story. I traded a 2wd 350 for my 4wd one lol
U can always convert it back or trade again
we need an update
Got some valve covers and an air cleaner from highbrid yesterday, painted the headers black, and I'm still waiting to pick up the m37 from work.
you have to run the headers the other way bud, they wont clear the fire wall, at least they wouldnt on my chevy. just a heads up

Here's what it looks like now. I'm working on getting an 85 blazer now because its not looking like I'm getting that m37. It's just taking too long to get it.
I like the blazer idea ;)
Quote from: Jthomas on May 03, 2013, 09:04:55 PM

I figured you would. Lol. It's all done in army camo and its already strait axle so I'm gunna try and get that. Maybe I can still get the np200 from that m37 but just use the blazer. It would be a lot lighter so it'll be easier on my motor and trans.
Be hard to get a np200 in a blazer its a little tight under there

That would be ideal lol

So I'm guessing its a new blazer not a full size?
If that's the case, yeah it's gunna be a tight fit for anything aftermarket at all. Even exhaust.
This is what it looks like.
OK those are strait axle trucks from the factory I'm a ford guy but I like k5 blazers
Me too lol
That there is gunna be a sweet ass bogger!!
I got some braided fuel line today along with a fuel pump. Hei distributer will be in, in about a week. ;D
Well the salvage yard is refusing to sell me the k5 so im going to be picking up my girlfriends dads 1960 willys jeep.
I have a k5

But her dad is letting me pay him back week by week lol
ALRIGHT! NOW WE'RE GETTING SOME WHERE!!! As you can probably tell im excited. You may wonder why im so excited? Well ill tell ya. I finally got myself a K5! Thanks to Mud Gremlin. Came with 35" Ground hawgs, a 241 tcase, and 1/2 ton axles. No motor or trans. So im now going to use the 241 instead of that heavy @$$ 203, put my motor and trans in, and cut the hawgs into vtreads. I really want this for TGW but i just realized i have a week and im getting nervous. Wish me luck!!!
Keep your butt off of here for a week and get it done
Motor and trans is in. Fuel cell is in. Battery is mounted. Gunna put the tcase and drive shafts in soon. I just need an alt and ps pump. Wire it up put the rad in and run trans lines and the two rad hoses. Give her fluids and shes a go!
Here it is ++peace
Awesome awesome looks good
The motor and trans is in!!! ++peace
u think u will be at tgw
I want to be but i ran into a problem. My output shaft is to short to engage my 241. So i guess im thowing in the 203 for now.
Oh and my uprights wont fit. The driver side one hits the master cylinder.
Got the hood and tailgate painted, put the doors on, got the rad set in its place, got the battery mounted, hooked up the shifter linkage, and installed my switches and start button on the dash. Pretty good day i would say.
As it sits now ;D ++peace
My buddy has the same problem with the uprights he just heated it up and bent them in a bit and wrapped it in heat Shield works great

Take the break booster off an jut run a master cylinder
X2
But manual brakes kind of suck lol
no booster on any of our trucks and there is no difference is stopping power and it saves you room to run uprights! Do you wanna sell them uprights sense your not gunna run em
Sure make me an offer. I need and alternator, a slip shaft for my rear driveshaft and a left a right 80's style chevy fender.
I mounted my tcase today and made a front drive shaft. I now need to make a rear driveshaft.
Going to get new rims headers and guages today.
What my tires will look like after i cut them ++peace
Nice
Got my headmen long tube headers, some aluminum 15x10 wheels, and a coolant temp voltage and oil pressure guages along with a new dipstick and tube for my motor. All thanks to Chevy Racer.
No problem. I'm already tearing up the neighborhood on the chopper.

Really!?! Nice work bud. Lol. I just got home.
Looking good keeping up
I painted the headers and bolted em on. Got some starter bolts and put the starter on. I revamped the dash and made a switch box and a dash thats is a little closer for the guages. I mounted all the guages and started wiring everything up. The fuel cell is finaly secure. And i also started switching my rims around. Getting close!!! I should have it turning over in the next couple days. And running hopefully in a week or 2
What else do you need to make her run?
If I was that close u wouldn't be able to do pull me out of the shop! Hell the bronco don't have headers, valve covers, proper fuel system and i had to here it run makes me work harder knowing it will rum and that close to the finish but that's me
I still need an alt. But i have to pull my intake off and put on lifter valley gaskets. Then i can put my dist. in and wire that up. I have to get a tac. I have to hook up the guages. Finish the wiring. Get a upper rad hose. Get oil,trans fluid, gas, and water. Hook up powersteering. And get a rear driveshaft made. Btw on my intake theres a plug right infront of the thermostat housing where i should beable to put my coolant temp switch but its corroded in to the intake. How should i get it out. It allready rounded out the 3/8 drive square in side of it. So idk what to do. Do they make a fitting i could put inline with my rad hose that the cts would screw into? I still have to yun trans lines spark plug wires. Hook up the carb. I also still need fenders and hood hinges. Theres still quite a bit to do but its all the little details lol. Oh and fordrunner i didnt leave my garage for a while. I was awake at 9:30am on tuesday and i didnt go to sleep till 2pm wednesday. Lol

Text me.
I texted ya. Lol
ITS REALLY CLOSE TO RUNNING. I NEED A FLOOR SHIFTER, DIPSTICK TUBE AND DIPSTICK FOR THE TRANS, INLINE FUEL REGULATOR, FLUIDS, FINISH WIRING, A REAR D SHAFT MADE AND A SERPENTINE BELT AND SHES READY!
Just put a rod threw the floor to shift loll works for me
I might have a tranny dipstick tube and dipstick.
It's for a 700r4. Not sure on the difference between the 350 tho
U don't need a regulator its a 7 psi
Yeah i know i posted that before you texted me lol.
Well i havent worked on it for a few days, but its back in my garage and im gunna start work on it again. I need to prime the oil pump "Im not sure how so if someone could help that would be very much appreciated.". I got torque converter bolts for it. And im headed to advantage driveline later this week to get my rear driveshaft made and my front driveshaft finished up. I got an upper rad hose and my tac is now mounted. Due date is sept 13 but itll be close but i still have 1 more bog after that thats near me this year and thats oct 20th. I really dont want to cut into my hunting time but what happens happens lol
Priming the oil system is easy. Get the tool, or an old pump shaft, and put it in a drill and spin the pump for a few mins. But make sure you got enough oil in the pan, or else it just sucks air. Should make 60+psi oil depending on the oil pump. Mines a high volume.
Well i know i have 5+ quarts in a stock oil pan which holds about 6 so i think im good there. Would autozone rent them you think?
what stock pan did you find that holds 6 qts??? all I have found were 5 qt pans i keeping buying aftermarket 7qt pans now lol

NEW SWITCH PANEL THANKS BC775
Getting stuff wired up. About to adjust valves. Hopefully shell be running by the weekend
That's a sweet switch panel mine just has light switches lol
Well couldnt sleep last night so i started on the truck again. I got the belt tensioner repositioned, the valves adjusted, and set the timing. Along with some other small stuff. Still need an alt, a serpentine belt, a floor shifter and cable, and trans fluid. Gotta have this thing done by the 15th
You can still run/time it, then re-lash valves on just the battery. I haven't had an alt in the truck all year.

Well i got all but the starter and alt wired up. Gunna put the rad in run hoses and put the torque converter bolts in next.

Lmao. You should let me bring it by your shop we can knock it out real fast. Lol
The radiator is sitting in its place it just needs to be bolted in and the carb is now sealed and bolted to the intake now. Gotta hook up fuel lines and wire the starter. Run trans lines and get fluids in it along with the serpentine belt and itll be ready to fire.
I gotta carb spacer from diversified today.
Got the rad mounted my buddy gave me an electric fan and a cap for the back so i got those mounted and the fan wired up. I went and got both fenders this morning so now the truck has all the sheet metal back on now. Just a little bit more to go and itll be done... For now lol.
Heres some picturessss
Well get that thing running and moving already
Here it is!!! ++peace the topper is for sale. I think ilike the truck look more. Still more to go but getting closer day by day.
Lookin good
Ive been working on this thing quite a bit lately. Its time for an update! Ive gotten the drivveshafts in. I got a dipstick and tube for the trans. I picked up a B&M ratchet shifter and got that mounted. I got an alternator and a serpentine belt. I got a plug for the outlet on the rad for a heater hose. Filled it with water to find out my intake gaskets leak so now i have to pull it apart again but when i put the intake back on its gunna be a dual plane instead of my single plane. All i need to do now is trans lines, fluids, and a little bit more wiring and this bad lad will be ready to fire!
so I got my intake today. I ended up getting a Holley Contender Dual Plane, and well I was over there Chevyracer hooked me up with an rv cam and a set of lifters. Thanks again Chris!
If they weren't the lifters that we're ran on the cam, you will have to break them in. Put it in park, turn the idle up to 2,000rpm and let it run for 20mins I think it is. Then drop your idle, and your all set!
And if the cam and lifters were used together, then ignore everything I just said. Lol
Im pretty sure they were run together.
even if they were ran together hopefully they are marked for intake/exhaust of each piston they were for
They were ran with it and no I didn't mark them. I didn't pull it so I can't control that part. It will be fine. Not like your going to baby it and expect it to last forever. LOL
Might be going to 3/4 tons soon. My uncle was gunna scrap an old chassis laying in his field and im gunna pull the axles off first. :)
New shoes. Time to cut some fenders lol. 16-38.5-15 TSL SUPER SWAMPERS in rear and 38-12.50-15 CUT TSL SUPER SWAMPERS up front. ++peace
Looking good! Makes me miss the K5 blazer I had, but had to sell it to start the cummins project

Yup thats what im thinking lol. Itll make for A fun run lol
Fenders are cut. This thing looks sick! Cant figure out why park isnt working on the trans. Its spun forward all the way but rolls like its in neutral. It does it in every position. And some how the tire on the passenger rear sticks out of the wheel well 2 or so inches more than the driver side. Dont know how that could happen either. Same width rim same width tire. Same offset. Axle is centered. Just dont get it. Would having no trans fluid in it keep it from engaging into park?

check and see if your body mounts aren't broke or maybe frame is bent

Body mounts are fine. I dont think the frame is bent? The 35's i had on it were even. The only thing i changed is the tires. Oh well. Im gunna put some 3/4 tons under it. Ill figure it out then im sure lol.
No trans fluid is an issue, but putting it in park is a mechanical lock, so technically you done 'need' it.
never even idle a truck in neutral or park without fluid. The pump is still spinning, then there's no lubircation.
If you have a different trans than what was originally in there (this happened to me, I went from a 700r4 to th400) the linkage rod going from the steering colloum to the trans is a different length. It didn't work at all, it bound through the selection, and if you have a body lift this will also be a problem. Disconect the linkage at the trans, jack up the rear of the truck, and cycle through the gears by hand, if problem still there, then you know you have a trans issue.
Btw. If you do jack up the rear, make sure your not alone so somthing bad doesn't happen and you don't run yourself over. loll
I have a cable shifter now, but i think i got a trans issue. ive tried cycling all the gears by hand and every gear i put it in i can still push the truck.
Sometimes low tranny fluid could do that. Or your just pump isn't building any pressure. A new remanufactured pump goes for$100. It's something you could replace yourself. But will involve dropping the trans. But that's just one a the many things it could be
you should be able to push the truck in every gear but park with it not running sound like the park pin is broken and thats no biggy its like having a stick shift just park on flat ground lol
Is the tire sticking out a new problem? If so first make sure the axle shaft isn't coming out. This could make it seem like park isn't working.
It is but i checked and they are both in all the way. Im getting 3/4 tons soon anyway lol
Picked up a 14 bolt and a 10 bolt 3/4 ton axles saturday. Looks like ill be in the garage the next couple of nights. Lol. Now i just need to find time.
putting the rear axle in!
