Another new 72...

[O'Rattlecan]

Cutting the fenders, or lifting it a bit then? I don't think the 37's will quite fit... You're right about lifting it too high though. On top of that, I like the tires to 'fill up' the wheel well.

It seems to me that I am robbing parts from my 95 F150 to put on my F100. First the seats, now the tires. Does anybody know if TTB knuckles will fit on a solid axle?

Poor guy.

 

[surewhynot]

The knuckles don't interchange.

 

[TexasNomad]

Yeah its like a Camel toe and moose knuckle, exactly the same, but absolutely different....

Thanks Tony. I am just looking for a disc brake setup. That is the next project, because now the truck goes, it just doesn't stop...

Thats all down the road, and I will cross it when i get there. I have mechanical issues to take care of first. Brakes being number one, now.

Exactly what are your plans for that truck?

BTW, pm received.......are y'all better now?

 

[nobodyspecial]

Yes, I have recovered... I think...

I am not completely sure. When I picked it up ($100) I was either gonna take the front axle out for another project, or just use this truck as a beater trail rig.

Since then, I have kinda grown attached to it, and I plan to eventually repaint it, and redo the interior. Not a big buck full resto, but get it looking nice. It will be lifted 4" or so and run somewhere in the area of 35-37" tires.

I am going to shorten the wheelbase to shortbed length and go with a one piece driveshaft. I had plans of making a flat bed for it (still do) but am debating between the flatbed and a stepside bed.

A flatbed like this:

Are ya gonna put headers on it?

 

[nobodyspecial]

I was thinking about it, i will wait till it has its final motor in it though. Not sure if I will stay with the holy hell what the heck is going on with that truck, sweet mother of mercy, kill it with fire!!!

 

[nobodyspecial]

Gonna post some engine questions in the FE thread, so I am shamelessly plugging it here.

 

[RedLariat85]

Sweet truck! I would love to have it.

 

[nobodyspecial]

Thanks! Its got a long way to go, just give it a while and we will see how it turns out.

I'm too lazy, but does it run?

 

[nobodyspecial]

Yeah, it runs, but has a good amount of blow by, so it will get rebuilt.

572 BBF with a blower???

 

[nobodyspecial]
