That's a hellava wish list , I like it ! I'd be curious on the spring relocation and what someone's ideas for it would be . I've tried to think of a couple of ways of doing that myself , but the main issues I have that I haven't figured out yet is how to get around the fuel tank with the spring bracket . On the mid tank trucks , the front tank is in the way for the front hanger and on the rear tank trucks . The tank is in the way for the rear bracket . As far as your rear axle swap , your best bet as of right now is to find a 70's 8 3/4 out of a truck or van . There out there , you just have to find them . That's good for most of us with the 5 on 4 1/2" bolt pattern . But you guy's with the mid 80's 5 on 5" are kind of out of luck unless you want to either swap your front to match the rear or build the one you have . Just my two cents .
I've thought about it , because It would be nice to get a bigger then I have now tire on the rear .
But two things stop me . # 1 I'm trying to keep it kind of period correct . #2 The fuel tank is in the way at the moment . I am planning on eventually moving it to the rear with either a factory Ramcharger tank or a fuel cell . But that's at a later date . So for now at least , I'm working with the leaf springs .
Have you posted any pictures of yours ? It sounds dam close to what I'm running . Did you mount your rear axle as a spring under and keep the factory perch's on the housing or did you mount it as a spring over and weld on new perch's like the truck originally had ?
Yep , That's the Warlock I remember ! If I remember right It was a pretty quick truck too boot ! You should start a thread on it and tell us about it and how you got it this far . I'm sure there's a few things that you've done to it that people would be interested in hearing on how you did it . That's how or why I started my build thread . A lot of people were asking me question's on how or why I did something and I had already had my truck up and running . So I started the thread . Of course mine is an on going build . But now people cane see it as it evolves for them selves . Your Power Wagon would also make a good build thread as well even if it is just body and paint .
