New guy, some pics, just saying hello!

[MGFabricator]

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 future experiences here! I figured i'd put up a few pics of the truck, since we all love them here! Thanks for looking guys!

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, maf swap, do some nice aluminum heads, and a gt35r turbo set-up on it! People keep trying to talk me into just buying something newer, but the looks of these trucks are timeless to me, they're almost ruggedly handsome.

Welcome! Looks like you're on a really good start.

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 last foxbody I built for a customer in Los Angeles. But with the truck cam, how well does that combo work?

 

[5.0Flareside]

I've got a comp cam in it also with the trick flows.. It's an awesome setup.. Ported the truck intake to match the head ports and it flows good..

Ill post a video of a friends truck with same heads as mine that's a twin turbo 393 running 11.03 1/4 mile pass in a full weight first gen lightning...

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 some of that action!

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! I think this just turned into my build thread hahaha, maybe I should start a new thread over in a different section. I'm not real sure on the rules and no-no's around here, so if you guys could lead me in the right direction, i'd sure appreciate it! Thanks for all the compliments and conversation guys! I love the comradery in this forum!
