ford drivetrain on a comanche

[comancheboy]

I say a sick black comanche on this forum with ford drivetrain like a hp 44 up front and the 9inch out back but now i can't find it anymore he had some good information about the swap. I was thinking about doing the same drivetrain swap with my comanche the little 30 and 35 ant cutting it anymore if anyone has info on this swap let me no thanks??? :typing:

Mine's not black... :dunno:

[comancheboy]

that currie won is cool but not rilly what i want to build mine like

I won't mine more crawler style than raceing

[Pete M]

Which front 44? Which style front suspension?

[comancheboy]

I was thinking leaf springs up front or maybe fabing up the james duff long arm raduis arm set up that they sell for early year broncos from the pics on the james duff web page they got great flex but i was thinking the dana high pinion 44 or maybe the big dog dana 60 that came in the fords

[Pete M]

How big of tire?

[comancheboy]

I want some 35's but maybe bigger depending on how crazy i go on the lift but want to keep it around a 6inch or a 8inch lift but nothing bigger than a 37inch tire

[Pete M]

Don't bother with the 1/2 ton ford drivetrain. Start looking at the 3/4 ton fords (HD 44 front, 60 rear).

mulipurposemj has a black mj with ford running gear. hp44/60 3/4 ton. But I wouldn't describe his truck as "sick looking", I would say it looks sick.

Didn't his truck get boogered up by going through an ATV trail?
