Re: the seriousness of slickitis, uni conversion new pics 6

If you were clipping a unibody bed and big window to a standard cab would you clip it at the seam below the roof?

Re: 1961 big window project

Yeah but I already have the wheels... don't think it will be a problem if I have to I can run an adapter.. I used a 94 mustang 8.8 in my last f100... this one is getting 20x10s in the back.. truck will be lower than this.

Re: unibody steps

#16 is not what I'm looking for.. the part is to the rear of the cab ..the curve up to the door jam.. my kick plates are good.. they make the front part #12 they call it the front pillar panel... The other side may not be available..

Re: Those with drop beams...I need some help

Got my DJM beams in and installed.. The aim/chassis tech beams were 3/4" longer than the DJM beams.. The Aim beams also look to have 1/2" more drop.. Would probably work for most people but I'm trying to get a 20x8.5 wheel up front so need fender room..

Re: Those with drop beams...I need some help

From my research these are aim/chassis tech beams..And they are wider than stock.. Supposed to be better than djm beams but wider which doesn't work well with wide wheels

Re: Those with drop beams...I need some help

Not sure what brand..Got them off of eBay used... I put my front wheel up against the hub no tire on and it looks like it sticks out too far.. the wheel is 8.5 wide with a 5 1/4 bs.. The wheels that were on it were 15x8 with a 4.5 bs so figured my new wheels would work but not sure now

Those with drop beams...I need some help

Lowering my 65 shortbed.. Installed one i beam and it really looks like the wheel is going to hang out the fender too much..

This front end is wide I guess.. What backspacing of wheels are you getting to tuck under fender? Or is that even possible with a twin I Beam?

Thanks Jason

so I'm guessing that if the frame was fairly flat I could also just move the spring hangers and rearend back to match a 66 long bed..

thanks.. the shortbeds are what around 114" ? I found a pretty decent 4x4 the guys says is a 65 but it has the square bed and a 64 grill.. might be better to just cut the frame and make a shortbed out of it..
