Duffy's 77 Build Thread- Restomod, daily, re-uncut

[broncobsession]

Looks fantastic. Very nice detail work.

Thanks!

I decided on going tilt column so I got an IDIDIT powder coated black. I bought this steering wheel off ebay to match. Wow am I impressed with its build quality. The horn is also a much better design. It should bolt right up with the kit it came with. I will let everyone know my findings. Here is a link to the wheel. It comes in a few options. Also you can change out the handle if you want, which is a very neat feature.

Here is my 77 ididit column, new steering wheel installed, wired with new 10 spot plug and re-wired my harness, shift indicator and wildhorses universal lower steering shaft. I couldn't be happier with how this looks and will perform.

I bought a drop pitman arm, but it came with all the paint chipped and rusty. So I stripped it and had it powder coated. I am running low on projects until I get the body back.

Well I got a used 285/70-17 to test fit on my lubr! I picked the Yuma Black Rocks, I just love there style.

We shall see if it clears tonight, if not I can roll the fenders and or pick another tire.

I'm rocking new perches (raises 1/2 or so) , axel back 1", 1" body lift, 11 pack 2.5 springs.

Total of 4" lift or so.

Fingers crossed!

Going with a little more bling on the dash. It's a combo of the drake billet bezels and the duff billet knobs.

They look awesome.

Can't wait to see this come together.

Looking forward to the test fit! Good luck!

Ran into a couple issues on the 285/70-17 fitment.

1. Everything is a little off since, there is no engine, tranny, driveshafts etc.. So the lifts looks goofy. I might re-try again next week or later once the motor is in.

2. The axle isn't super centered. The right side the tire doesn't fit as well..

Thoughts? I have the tool to roll the fenders. I could also go 275/70-17/

 

[duffymahoney]

Front fitment for fun. Boy the lift looks huge!

 

[duffymahoney]

Got my power port plug done. Silly small thing, but I am very happy with it!

Again it's a combo of the drake billet dash kit and the duff knobs. I had the old tire thing machined off, then tapped the plug and installed a stud.

 

[duffymahoney]

These tiny details make all the difference to me.

hi where did you get the od cancel switch?

I got some etched 19mm push button switches made with OD cancel A/B mode for my 4r70w. I plan to have a fuel economy shift mode and then a hard shifting mode. This will go in Tunnel Cover Cubby blank from wild horses. I also got 2 fog light switches made for my front and rear LED bars that are recessed into the bumpers.

I have a Lentech electric valvebody for an AOD and this switch would be perfect.

Thanks,

Brett

Getting ready to narrow the rear axle. Wish me luck. I'm testing the 56" width tomorrow so at least we will know more.
