Ron, welcome. I Live in Simi also. I work at Price Ford as parts manager. Can't get many factory parts anymore but I am willing to help any way I can. Hope to see you on the trail!!

I have a full width Beard seat up in my rafters. I used to run it when the kids were little plus a Baby Beard. the 5 of us used it quite a bit when the kids were little.
might give Beard a call and see if they still make them..
Yea, I'm not competing anywhere and 39 or 40 inch tires I should be fine with. Strange built my housing to my specs and even welded the ends on that i sent them. mine used the same brakes as the Front 60. same spindle and rotors and dual piston calipers so less parts to carry if i decide to...
I have the tool that opens the rear end housing ends for 31 spline. I used this years ago then had a custom housing made instead. yup, wasted money spent!!
