[font="Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Fira Sans", "Droid Sans", sans-serif]We use half ton truck/ F150 driveshafts as a core, these shafts use a constant velocity joint made from two U joints and a centering ball yoke.
[font="Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Fira Sans", "Droid Sans", sans-serif]I do not plan to turn the pinion on the front diff up, with the way the front diff mounts in these rigs that would be fairly difficult. With a good CV style front d shaft it is not needed
[font="Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Fira Sans", "Droid Sans", sans-serif]Body match for the brake calipers might be the way to go! in my personal opinion on a Ford blue truck the accent color could be, body match blue, yellow, red, silver, or black. Red would be my first choice, but all of my vehicles have red accents. Yellow, no way in heck would I do that on this rig. Silver would look so nice (silver or grey) but it also looks stock, black is nice, but nothing "catchy" about black brake calipers.... I'm learning towards red or body match blue.............hmmmmmmmmmmm
