  1. MGFabricator's 95 F-150 build thread, lots of pics!

    Quick update, and some changes made!!!!Well, I figured i'd update my build thread here, i'm currently in the process of getting the new motor done, picked up a 460 cheap, got it on a stand and waiting on a couple parts to come in before I can start stuffing it in the truck. It will be getting...
  2. Got some new stuff put on!

    Hey thanks! Definitely digging the truck in you avatar, love those trucks!smilieFordlogo
  3. Got some new stuff put on!

    Thanks fellas! I think i've completely fallen for this truck. No matter what, all I can think about is my next round of mods. I had originally planned on doing a turbo small block set-up, but i've decided to just go all out and go with a 460 big block/c6 set-up, and some more lift, most...
  4. Got some new stuff put on!

    Thanks amkatt! It isn't done yet though, just ran outta time this year. I rely on this thing to get me to work with the harsh winters we have here sometimes. So, a lot of the changes i'll be making to it will have to hold out till next spring.
  5. Got some new stuff put on!

    Meant to say, this was over a span of 13 months, looking at the pics now, of the solid axle swap, and the whole transformation of this truck in general almost seems surreal to me now. But, I love it! All the hard work paid off!
  6. Got some new stuff put on!

    Well, I finally bit the bullet and ditched the stock alcoa looking wheels, and went with some different stuff! Let me know what ya'll think!The top pic was a couple days after I bought it, the bottom pic was 3 days ago after I had the new wheels put on.Side view!And, these are the...
  7. MGFabricator's 95 F-150 build thread, lots of pics!

    Sorry, haven't been on here lately! I used 7* bushings, it has 5" of lift all together, my caster came out perfect and the pinion angle couldn't be any better!
  8. A working man's truck

    Never know or learn until you try and do it. It's really not that difficult, I just did the seals on my 95 which has a 79 axle underneath it on friday in about 3 hours all together. I personally think the hardest part is putting the new seals in. Everything else is just remove, and put it...
  9. MGFabricator's 95 F-150 build thread, lots of pics!

    Well, after a long drawn out process, I found out I no longer have to debate whether or not to sell this truck. Long story short, my step brother took off in one of our cars while I was at work, and crashed up the whole neighborhood. Luckily, the insurance company worked with us and got us out...
  10. Post a pic of your 87-96 and 97 F250's and up

    Thanks! And yessir, it is a 1995, f-150 sport, xl, 5 speed, 4wd, has cruise, ac, and air bags.
  11. Testing the waters 95 F-150, solid axle swapped, lifted

    Well, had an accident occur this past week, my brother decided to steal one of our cars and caused a lot of damage, and as much as I hate to do this, i'm highly considering putting my truck up for sale. Problem is, I have no idea on how to value this thing, so I was hoping you guys could take a...
  12. Post a pic of your 87-96 and 97 F250's and up

    Here's mine, finally done with the solid axle swap. It's too bad I may be putting her up for sale :(
  13. Got a new truck!!!

    You should buy the leveling springs that I used to have on my truck off me ;) I'll sell em to ya cheap. Hell, i'd probably even throw in the camber bushings for the front end too! Good looking truck though, I always loved that color combo, you got the good wheels too!
  14. Getting more blacked out headlights this time..

    I like it too! ;) Truck looks sick man, I always had a soft spot for reg cab short beds, but flaresides are in a league of their own!
  15. MGFabricator's 95 F-150 build thread, lots of pics!

    Thanks guys, it means a lot to me to hear such good comments coming from a group of experienced guys. I got some new pics coming of the truck, as soon as it gets back from the alignment shop, she'll make her maiden voyage into some mud!primetime, I appreciate the comment on the bracket, I...
  16. 77 front lift proj.

    My step-dad's 65' is the same way, I personally like the rake look on a 2wd myself also. If you really wanna lift the front end up, couldn't you maybe use coil spring spacers?
  17. MGFabricator's 95 F-150 build thread, lots of pics!

    Just for giggles, old school vs new school, my 95' sitting next to the 65'. I actually went to pick up a motor for the 65', but the 65' is running now, and hopefully will be attending the next truck meet with my 95' there also!
  18. MGFabricator's 95 F-150 build thread, lots of pics!

    I forgot to mention the new interior, well, kind of new? I ended up stripping the entire interior out, and sanded the entire dash, and every panel by hand. I don't have any before pics, unfortunately. But I do have a picture of what I did as far as getting the black interior I wanted. I...
  19. MGFabricator's 95 F-150 build thread, lots of pics!

    Thanks guys! It's definitely been a knuckle busting, curse words I didn't know I knew, wrench throwing ordeal, but it felt great to finally drive it down the road again! I finally got the new shocks on today, installed the hid's, and took her for a spin. No weird noises, or anything to report...
  20. MGFabricator's 95 F-150 build thread, lots of pics!

    It's been a long hard road with this truck, but it's pretty much to the point that I wanted it at. I'll be hard at work on the engine bay the next couple months, doing a semi-built 302, maf conversion, and single gt35r set-up on it. It lacks a little power, and even re-geared I really notice...
  21. New guy, some pics, just saying hello!

    So, quick update, I just got the shocks on the front, since my mounting brackets took 2 weeks to get to the Ford dealership. Just got a package on the porch today, and i'm heading out to install the new stuff on the rig! So, i'll guess i'll have a few more pictures to share in a couple hours...
  22. New guy, some pics, just saying hello!

    Hey, i'm not mad at ya. This truck is actually my first Ford, and my first fullsize hahaha, I played around with Rangers and Chevy Pre-runners at the shop I worked at out in Cali. I'm diggin the bronco in your avatar too, always loved Bronco's.5.0Flareside, sounds good man, i'd love to see...
  23. New guy, some pics, just saying hello!

    Thanks! I saw the older truck in some of your pics, thing looks good, I love the looks of those bullface trucks!5.0Flareside, I take it you're running the trick flows? If so, how are you liking them? I've done some turbo mustang set-ups and used trick flows, twisted wedges I put on the...
  24. New guy, some pics, just saying hello!

    Thanks guys! I love this truck, only thing that I really want to change is how much power it's lacking. It's a 302, 5 speed, 4wd, originally an f-150 sport but xl package somehow, and has cruise, real weird configuration from the factory. So, as of now, the plans are yank the motor, re-build...
  25. New guy, some pics, just saying hello!

    Hey guys, new to the forum. I'm a welder/fabricator, working on getting my business off the ground right now, and i'm pretty excited! I own a 95 f-150, that i've went a little crazy on. Just wrapped up a solid axle swap on it, lift and a few other things. So, i'm looking forward to the...
