lol...Amkatt...cool effect...reminds me of the former 76 F100 2wd stepside i had years ago..truck had the 351w with the borg warner 4 spd manual had 31" on the front & 33's in the rear.3.50 gears,drop that baby into second gear & sidestep the clutch...talk about a smoke show..lol the smoke was so thick it would engulf the truck.wish i had pics but couldnt be in two places at once.my wife & brother in law{chevy man} were amazed that a stock truck had so much low end power! & that was before the upgrades i did to it... i did this to shut my brother in law up he has always dogged me about my love & dedication to Ford vehicles...lol....smilieFordlogo

lol, my F150 refuses to spin the tires.
Something about 2.75 rear gears and 31" tires not going together well.
LOL :) Yeah, that combination would do it.
But ah-heck dude-zilla... :)

Do us both a big favor and get yourself and your family dirt bikes and/or
quads and/or build yourself a dune buggy instead. :)

They'll be more fun and you won't be screwing up your transportation.

BTDT and so my '75 F150 never broke down and left me stranded
-anywhere- -ever-!

It hauled lots of toys for the whole family too, not just toys for me. ;)

Sorry, but I just gotta tell you the truth the way I see it. :(
Anything less and I feel like a liar.

(doing the best he can with what he's got to work with)

Tried smoking the tires once in a rental truck (go figure, lol) and the rear end hopped so bad I thought it would drop the drive shaft. Comes down to the suspension set-up, and lets face it, most trucks are not designed to light up those rear tires. side note... it's fun trying :)

lol, Alvin. My F150 is my restoration project. I have my 03 Ranger for my daily driver.

When I find a 400 for the F150 and up the rear gear ratio to 4.10's, I'm sure it won't have a problem spinning the 31's.

not trying to be negative.. but unless that 351W was swapped in.. it wasnt original to that F100... so it really kinda aint stock...

your statement is true the 351 was a swap.made it a much better rig.
