I'm slowing making progress on my Chief and I'm debating a J20 axle upgrade like J10 Mike. (I have a J20 plow truck that's rotting away and the axles are yearning to go on my Chief.) I've added rear discs, 3/4 ton calipers, vented rotors, and hydroboost to my D44s, but the D60 is tempting. I'll probably run the D44s for a while and decide later.
Here's a pict of J10Mike's front bumper on the Chief. I dropped in a 401 with 0.030 Keith Black pistons, comp cam, headers. Thinking about adding a Howell FI to it but may go the Affordable Fuel Injection route. I plan on breaking in the enigne with a standard carb and then making the switch over.
Yesterday I finished the rear bumper by adding a swing out tire carrier kit from EMS Offroad.
I switched over from a T18/D20 to a T400/Quadratrac since I use this truck mainly as a daily driver will drive it in the winter. The T18/D20 are going into a 53 Willys PU that I'm putting on top of a J10 shortbed with a 7" SOA. Maybe I'll put the axles under that chassis. (A dream project once I get the Chief done and the wife recovers from the expense.)
I've done all the work myself (including the paint) with a lot of help from a buddy of mine. I'll be posting more picts in the future.
