Put some steps on my 61 4x4

Post by slick4x4 »

Took some steps off a F600 and put on my pickup
Had to raise the battery box about an inch for them to fit
Arched the front springs & plan to lift the back a bit
Want to stuff some 37" military tires under it ( too much for the 223 ?)
The frame had been hacked up (used as a feed truck on a farm)
So I shortened it for a bed I had (short F250 very rare !)
Kicking the idea of a farm truck paint job......

a 223 turned these aircraft tires
axle ratio was 6.67
not sure what you have im guessing 4.56 but should not be an issue

No
I go to a body shop & get their cheaper auto paint ( way better than TSC)
I can usually get primer,thinner,hardner,paint for around 200$
If you prep & lay it down good.... Pretty decent paint job
