well ill here too. lol. im picking up an 83 f150 tomorow

yea ur tellin me. front fascia's get expensive. my stang is the same way. but the 79 and other trucks are lifted. lol i got the best of both worlds

looks good. i got my 04 lightning dropped 5" in the front and 7" in the rear. looks killer til u drive it hahaha i gota swerve for acorns in the road lol

but if a lifter was collapsed or something that would make the noise all the time. i kno its time to tear the whole thing down and rebuild the whole thing. just gota finish putting the rear in the lightning so i can get the 79 in the garage cuz its getting cold! o yea and i will check for oil...
