97 F350 monster truck

Well my 97 that iv had since I was 19 got totaled and my mud truck bronco got the axles destroyed this summer so I can only fix one so I have decided to build me a monster truck. I just picked up a set of 5 ton rockwells and a 5 ton military case with roll around tires.

Plan is-

Be on 66x43x25 terra tires
Either old school leafs all around or coils/4 link up front and leafs out back
Fix the cab
Fix the bed
Full hydro steering
Pinion brakes
Hood stack
Roll cage inside
Driveshafts
Make sure the a/c and radio still work lol

Still have more things to debate on like

Tilt front end
Dump bed for show
Triple/double roll bar

It'll be a long project but it'll be fun to build and show off. And questions or comments just speak up haha

This is what she once looked like.

This is what happens when a full size Harley runs into the side of your truck

Got the bed off so I decided to have some fun with it

These are the 5 tons I just picked up

Are those axles off a g.I.? (Duece and a half)

They are from a 6x6 but the beefed up heavy version of the deuce axle. These are 5 tons not the 2 1/2 ton

Gotcha. We have a fleet of them at work. Pretty much everything about those trucks are stupid tough

I have a set of those sitting at the shop for a mud truck project one of these days.

I'll agree there. They are stupid heavy and I over it!! Lol

Iv ditched the idea of all leafs and am gonna be leaning towards coils on each corner and a good 4 link setup.

No idea . But it will be on airbags and have a diesel under the hood lol

We have helped in a few builds...........this is just a few. Don't have pics for the big ones handy. Working on another right now.

Any info on top heavy, the white SD, and the blue OBS? Super sharp trucks.

Vader I was curious about bags myself but wasn't sure how tough they would be

Top heavy was our old shop truck. 160/100 injectors and BDP chip. 5 top four link coil overs and 28l26 tires.

The blue truck was 160/stock inj and our tuned chip. 2.5 ton with 2" 47 spline axles from overson and 48-31-20 tires. Also four link coilover.

I'll see if I can dig up more pics from others we helped with.

i want the 28l26 tires bad!!
