welcome to the site, nice looking truck

 

[flatoutford1976]

the bottle in the bed is not nitrous it is nitrogen I use the compressed nitrogen for the air bags.

 

[ford141]

So, obviously a serious body drop, bridge, bags, but what else? Lay down the goods on that ride. I love it. I have both a lifted 4wd and a lowered 2wd, so I like a dentside no matter what the attitude (altitude?). I also swapped my '79 grille for a '77 grille, just 'cuz I like them better.

 

[flatoutford1976]

ford 141 you have any pics of your lowered 79

 

[Fellro]

While I'm not one for lowered much of anything,(just my choice, nothing wrong with doing it) I can appreciate the care, craftsmanship, and pride that went into that build. I say if it's what you want, than by all means, go for it!

Here is a link to the buildup thread of mine. Definately not as radical as yours, but I've got some work into it.

Looks like you are still running the I-beam setup, but what all did you do up there? It's tough to get these things low in the front. I'd like to go another inch or two static drop, but it will need some custom work to get it there.

 

[Ridgerunner]

Now that I'm cleaned up and calmed down...
Man your truck is awesome!

Once a year bath in the creek again Tex?

I'm a traditionalist. The engine is great, the body though.The poor truck.

 

[flatoutford1976]

 

[flatoutford1976]

well 78 250 this poor truck gets alot of attention where ever it goes

 

[OLDRLBL]

Well, personally I think it's interesting to look at, but definitely not for me. Hey if you like it, that's all that matters.

 

[dragogt]

It is a clean build though.

 

[89frankenford]

i really like it! it was done RIGHT which is why i like it a lot. ive always been a fan of low riders compared to REALLY jacked up trucks like the one in the pic...that truck is useless....no one is going to use it...the lowered one you can drive it around town and still show it.

 

[Fellro]

Actually, there is an Excursion and a few trucks around here that are lifted that high, and they do drive them around town since they repealed our lift restriction laws... Not saying I would want to drive around, be too afraid of parking on a Geo or something...I have trouble climbing on horses any more, that wouldn't be good for me either... but I do get what you mean.

 

[mtflat]

Nice truck flatout - I started making a list of mods but I ran out of space on my paper. I like it!

It's not what I'd do with a truck...but obviously a lot of time and skill went into building it, and I respect that.


*Are any of these pictures at it's maximum height? If not, could you post one?
