We got the D44 Rear all stripped down. They cut off all that had to be cut off the front axle and boxed in the spring perches and got most of the truss welded up.

What Tom said; we still have to add the LCA mounts, track bar mount, inner c gussets, and UCA mount to the front axle, add the spring perches, shock mounts and truss to the rear axle.

Our patients.
Some of the parts.
Plasma cutter is out.
Sometimes a good cut off wheel is needed.
Back at it.
Your turn.
One down, three to go.
Some cleanup work.
First perch is off.
Dueling grinders.
Onto the D30, our Treasurer hard at work.

Some stick time from the President.
Welding in the coil bucket reinforcement after all of the track bar pieces have been cut away.
Tacking in truss peices.
Laying bead on the tube.
This is where we left it for the day. As noted previously, still need to weld on the top piece after some copper primer for the inside of the truss. LCA mounts, track bar mount, UCA mount, and driver side truss section. The 44 still needs the rear truss trimmed to butt up to the ubolt eliminators and everything welded on. The majority of the time was spent surgically removing the pieces around the coil buckets. It may be more prudent for anyone looking into this truss and WJ steering to simply replace the coil buckets as well.

Good stuff... I was building a shower pan and reminding myself that a F250 D44 is significantly heavier than a D30, or even a rubi D44. My back hurts.
