2 wheel drive.

In all seriousness, Nigel, if you are not going to use it anywhere but on roads, and want it to still look authentic, then why not remove the entire front diff centre and axles, but leave the housing - reduces weight and the loss of power by the front wheels 'driving' the front diff. Combine this with the White Scout Car rear diff component change I suggested before. I had an F15 with that conversion, and it worked quite well.

The F15 and F15A have quite different front spring setups, so changing diffs and putting in a beam axle would, I think, look a little obvious.

The 01T truck has, I think, a far slower diff ratio than the F15A's 6.65:1, if my memory serves me well), so changing the rear axle for that would not serve your purpose.

Balancing the original motor also reduced vibration and harmonics, and ran more smoothly: a far more pleasant truck to drive.

would it not be easier to swap your F15A for a F15 and enjoy the ride, the 2 wheel original setup will surprise you in where it will go and let someone who would like the heavier 4x4 as is. [ my 4x4 is 2.8t, 4x2 is 2.4t ]

You see this is what makes MLU so good. Ideas and expertise, you can't get any better than that. Thanks Mike for suggestions and comments about 01T.
Bob would love a F15 but not one about for sale, you going to send yours over for me?

Ach well we'll see what transpires in the next couple of weeks.

Nigel
Probably should have stuck with carriers!

Nigel, boy are you out of luck, all mine are CHEV, took it over in 94 and nobody wanted it so it came back. Of course if you BOUGHT it and sponsor me I,ll bring it back for next year.
