"Can you make a street legal vehicle with rockwells? i thaught the braking system wasnt DOT approved?"
from what ive been told and seen, you can put wheel brakes on them and crossover steering with hydro assist to make em good for the street but I dont have money for that right now. I have brackets to run pinion brakes and Im going to have full hydro steering.

"hey try this site . occasionally you can find low milage vehicles cheep. even can find rockwells, 52" michlins and divorce transfer cases. http://govliquidation.com is that the new hospital in the background of the first pic?"
I'm gunna check it out. maybe theres some good stuff in key west or the Homestead base.
Thanks for the link

"what exactly are you looking for? mini, mid, full size. what is your "vision". have a friend in the junkyard business and also know a few from economy towing. are you going street legal? if you have an idea i can help."
i'm looking for a jeep or truck with a decent sized(350+) running v8.
I would really like to find a running v8 yj but the only ones ive seen are too much money. I think my best bet is going to be to find a older blazer or pickup with a good motor and trans. It's not going to be street legal for now.
Thanks

2.5 ton Rockwell build
June 3, 2008 by lostj
I picked up some 2.5 ton rockwells awhile back I'll post my updates in this thread.
not sure what I'm going to put em under yet, I'm looking for a truck or jeep. I would prefer something that has a 350(or bigger)/th400/np205 in it already. :D
as for the tire, I plan to run a 16.9-24 R1.
