Been working on my front end. getting it more solid and better. Cross over steering working good, brand new pro comp shocks, pro comp steering stabilizer. it drives a whole crap ton better. Ive been messing with mounting my divorced np205.

My bed measures out around 5ft long. with the tailgate down i have plenty space. i an still haul 2 dirt bikes or a dirt bike and a quad no problem. Before i converted and i had the long bed, i stuffed 2 quads, a 250cc dirt bike and a 50cc dirt bike in the bed with the tailgate shut!

yeah. I bought the 76 crew cab short bed truck. it was a factory highboy. dana 60s and a divorced np205. the bed was shot, the front end was smashed up, the rear axle was taken apart and the frame was rusty.so i salvaged the dana 60 front, the cab the divorced np205 and some other parts and...

frame is a 78 f150 2wd std cab. crew cab body swapped on. dana 60s front and rear, cut down 8ft bed to somewhere around 4ft. its a pretty one off custom. i built it all and its not even close to done. still needs a t-case installed and new drivelines.

to be honest everything has been pretty simple. i did the cab and bed swap in 2 days. Day 1 i had everything unbolted and removed. then day two installed the crew cab, made mounts. I cut the bed and slapped it on. i had plenty of help from friends that made it easier. when i swap running gear i...

Thanks, the truck is really fun to drive. i like having the extra space. bed is not that bad at all. its small but functional. Im in the process of getting tires and wheels, and then i can start swapping the dana 60 axles over.Im going to paint it myself. its going to be a wheeling rig for...

the donor truck with the cab, has no title, nor paper work. have gone thru to many owners and last known owner was in about 94' when the tags expired last.so trying to track the paper work and file for a lost title where i live sucks. so it was easier to swap cabs and running gear. plus it...

just assembled. not done yet. Its a crew cab body, set on a f-150 frame, shortened bed.Next plans are install dana 60 front, dana 70 rear, divorced t-case, 35" toyo Mud terrains, 17" wheels. finish paint and body, probably go with a camo theme. Its going to be a 4wheeling machine. Later i want...

so using the wiring harness from a 79 WITH AC, and putting it into a 76 WITHOUT AC shouldn't be anything difficult then? I only see a problem with the heater as having the blower motor located under the hood. but its only 1 wire so thats not to hard to rewire.I plan to take the 79 wiring...

I Have a couple questions about the wiring in a 76 and the wiring in a 79.Basically I am taking a 1976 crew cab body, and installing it onto my 79' long bed frame. That in turn will have a bobbed and shortened short bed. the 79' is a factory AC truck, and the 76 is Non AC.the dash wiring and...

i painted my headliner black with ace hardware rust stop gloss black. took half a can to soak in, but its been painted for months and looks just as good as it did the day i painted it.

ok fixed lol. my vacuum modulator came un plugged. works good now haha. glad i didnt have to do a trans swap thatd be no fun

so never had any problems with my trans until today. I always just put the trans in D and go down the road. so today driving and i notice im stuck in 1st gear??so i manually shift into second and it shifts to second, but shift back to drive and it down shifts into 1st again?? so if i manually...

78 2wd with a 351m 34" tsl swampers and a welded diff in the rear and some 31" goodyear wranglers in the front. I take this truck many places with ease!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64LbjNwso-U78 ford with dual 2" piping and cherry bombs. its getting louder now, and sounds really nice!

Hey guys,To start off i come from a turbo import nissan and toyota world! My last car was a 87 toyota corolla, with a nissan 1.8l turbo motor swap. ive always been a turbo and go fast kind of guy.here was one of my swaps in my last carI was super super close to going semi pro this year...

In the paint process. sanding and primering right now. tons of work on a truck haha. Im doing it on the cheap as its just a work truck and haul the dirt bike and trail thrash on it, so paint wont be perfect or crazy nice, but will still look super good. Im seeing orange in the future lol

my truck is 2wd and it has just a stock 351m with the edelbrock manifold and holley 670 street avenger carb and dual exhaust with cherry bombs. its quick, but needs a cam and some headers soon!

awesome!!!!!!!!!

my truck has semi crappy tires, they are kinda bald but balanced. and it drives great on the freeway. i could cruise all day. but yeah it will peg the speedometer like its nothing. but its just a 2wd as well.

ok so tuned it up, got it to idle SMOOTH at 650 rpm and in gear it only drops to about 600 550 rpm. runs and drives freaking awesome. secondaries kick right in, and have smooth engagement and runs freaking good. ive been daily driving it and it does awesome.im happy. seems to get way better...

thanks, they were a rush job, i need to pull them off clean them more and repaint them again. when i do my brakes i am going to paint the brake booster blue as well. i think the ford blue is a good color!

so my 78 2wd is ready for some paint. its factory white right now.My thoughts so far:repaint white? orange? orange with white roof black?post up some pictures!!! i need ideas

i got my kickdown working great!!I got a question though. so i got it to idle smooth, and runs good while cruising and wot.....But when i drop it in gear it idles down a bit to much around 600-500rpm and when you first step on the pedal it kind of hesitates but when your going its just fine...

ok so im having trouble!!!! so it ran great yesterday and today to work. drove it all day with the needle above E hahaha. ran fine! i was super happy.Pulling into the driveway it died? hmm start it up, wont idle. get out take air cleaner off and mess with idle, doesnt want to run right. so i...

AND pistons lol. but this motor needs some work, itd be easier to find a 400 already and clean it up, port the heads and rebuild it. i want to just use stock pistons, just new bearings, new cam, ported heads, headers, edelbrock manifold, the holley 670 carb, a double roller timing chain, and new...

so got the truck up and going. the carb someone jetted down to a 63. it was too lean, so i ended up taking apart the 600 holley i had and took the 66 jets out and put those in. works good. feels like it could go one step richer but it runs real nice.MAN the power difference! before the stock...
