now that is a bunch of good lookin dodges......wish i had all the old dodge pap had at one time but he never had a bighorn....matt

I drove 2 UD trucks back in the late 90's early 2000 and they were great rollback/tow trucks. with 21foof beds you could still turn them around in a 2 lane road and not back up. the air over hydraulic brakes were a lil wierd but did good, full air would have been better. matt

Oh I have a question what was differant between the LT,LTL,and LTH?? and great story, your very lucky to have a that!! I have a 57 IH that i was lucky enough to get all the papers for also Matt

i might have one in the shed but i forget if its a 711 or a 673

Good luck finding a baby quad ........i have een looking for a while now with no luck matt

I was told to find a TRQ770 by a member here, but are they a #2 or a #1 And does anyone have one for sale Thanks matt

Hey Fellows, I am looking for a COMPLETE baby quad. I need the trans, sticks, linkage and bell housing. I'm planning on bolting it to a 6BT cummins. what size bell housing does the baby quad use????? A SAE 2 i hope. Is there anyone that knows where i might find on or has on they want to sell plaese contact me thanks matt

looks as if i might be S.O.L. till i get home. dad has a old ford with a V8 and 5+3 that is a tri axle dump i might have to study that and make some calls to the boys at cresson ridge and see what i can piece together to get the ratios i need but thanks to every one for your help If y'all have any other ideas let me know thanks matt

Rob first of all thanks I have checked into that option and this is what i have found the spicer 6+1 and all the ones i have found are 1:1, is quite pricey used plus i would have to still get a rear. But now that we start talkin bell housing size the sae 2 was tight between the rails so i guess im back to square 1. Now im gonna ask something yall may not know so here goes in the old trucks "IH FORD GM" that used big block V8s what size was the bell housing in those trucks???? im thinkin i could go with a pair of boxes made for those trucks and find the right combo to get the .6ish:1 ratio i need. didn't realy want the short shaft between boxes but if thats the way i gotta go what do ya do just a thought matt

superdog what model numbel is associated with the "baby quad" so i can begin my search for one. and would a triplex work or will i never find parts to mount it to the 5.9 thanks matt

well i used to drink alot of the PA beers Rolling Rock and Yuengling but now if i drink beer its coors light or mic. ultra and still drinks a few rolling rocks. but for me most of the time its JIM BEAM or CROWN ROYAL

yes you are very right about running high rpm. its not gonna be an everyday driver just a play toy so im not to worryed about that. now if i can get a shaft size and the diameter of the bell i might be on to something

according to the road speed calculator 2500 rpm with 10.00r20 tires with 6.88 rear and .69 od comes out to 64.3 mph so that i can live with. now the question lies, as to what bell housing is used and can i get what i need to bolt it to a 5.9 cummins and what does it cost to buy a quad or a triplex

the truck was a 5 speed direct with a 2 speed rear 6.88 high and 8.86 low. the reason im stayin with the original rear is 1 it has air brakes and 2 i can keep the original spoke wheels to match the front spokes and 3 finding a IH rear that light with air can be a challange. i have some IH rears at home with fast gears but none are fast enough and parts are not avalable. I agree i might not need all the gears of a quad but im after the .66:1 ratio and with all the gears i should be able to run in the 65mph range but a triplex would work
