Personally, I like that stance right there.

Overall, I would say that you've done some good fabrication work. I've never seen this kind of suspension setup designed before, on these slicks. If you know what you are doing though, it'll probably work out just fine.

Cool ride height!

Personally, I don't think those wheels fit the truck. It looks fine but it's just not my style. But I do know plenty of people who would love it. I think it would look killer sitting on some all black wheels with some meaty tires on them!

Very cool truck, and I love the stance!

Glad to see that you have made some more progress. Just one thought, I would move the wheels foward 1". I move front, and rear foward 1" and it made a world of diffrence, as far as how the wheels look in the fenderwells. Just my opinion.

Also just wanted to say:looks like you started w/a pretty clean truck.

such a nice day out today that i pulled the old beast out of the garage and washed off all the mold and bird poop from when it was in my buddies barn and pigeons can do a real mess if you had saw the truck before i really cleaned on her today. not too bad and the colors are pretty nice also

That front ride height is just right/ back needs to come down an inch or two, of course if you are linking it, it will. Nice truck!

BTW how many leafs are out of that back suspension? Thats where I need to get mine to...

twistedfreak · Post by **twistedfreak** » March 2, 2008, 9:02 pm

i took all but 3 out, the only ones left are the 3 that are together with straps.

I'm guessing it'll be less than 6" from the ground whatever it is!

Looks great!

not yet but they are on the way tomorrow. the power plant is a 94 cobra motor and 5 speed tranny bought a donor car for 500 and cut it up ran very strong when i bought it you could actually drive the car but too much to repair so they totaled it my gain.

that looks good, I like how its the same setup as my 78 F150 4x4 is up front with trailing arms and a track bar. We were talking about it tonight in the chatroom. nice job, and good work

twistedfreak · Post by **twistedfreak** » March 3, 2008, 8:36 pm

started on the sheet metal work tonight since im at a stand still right now waiting for metal to come so i can finish the frame up front. but i got the grille and hood all placed on so i could get a shot of that also.

filling the seam up going to smooth out the lines a little bit so its not as choppy.

tomorrow at work im going to make the 3 3/8 circle to fill the old gas filler location we have a killer circle maker.
