Nice Uni.

eh... that's NICE!

the slammed '63... did you put in an IFS, or keep the straight axle? If you kept the straight axle, I wanna know MORE!

As you can see in my signature, I have ambition of dropping her to about a 4" fully deflated height. I know I could drop her on the asphalt with an IFS setup, easier and cheaper, but it doesn't do it for me like that.

Thanks,it is actually a 79 camaro frt clip(it was free),but I made ithe frame look like it came from the factory with it,and it drives awesome,like a big 3000lb gokart,i used a 79 bronco tilt column which only took 1 borgeson to get steering complete,just couldnt beat the low buck entry price.good luck with yours.

Another person in this neck of the woods. I am just up in Haslet... Have you ever been out to the Pate swap meet @ TMS? If not you need to make plans to join us there in late April. http://www.pateswapmeet.com If you need some front end sheet metal let me know. I still have a front clip and hood from the 63 parts truck and the metal is good shape. Plus some other stuff.

Welcome to the club. I am intrigued and would love to see photos of the 2wd Broncos. That is a project I have wanted to do for a while.

Ken. Texans at Slicktock are rarer than Sudanese immigrants at a KKK meeting, with the exception of Lyman (Jeepbut) who has been at every one. but he's a Corpus brand Texan, I guess they are different. :wink:

I thought I posted a :welcome:

I guess I either fell asleep before hitting 'submit', or I had to go pee or something. :lol:

Anyway, I'm with Truckfarmer, I'd like to see pics of the 2wd Bronco too.

Free stuff is always really nice. I wish somebody would toss me a free dropped axle and air ride equipment. Hell for that matter I just wish I could get ahold of the dummy in Phoenix that has an Air Ride he posted on Craig's list a while back...

mmm Gokart.
Actually I would wager your truck is probably closer to 4000. I had my truck on the scale at the scrap yard a while back. Shortbed, 390, C6, spare tire, Very small toolbox, and big ugly bumpers pushed it to around 4060. Eh, all that crap IS pretty heavy. Maybe a normal weight would be around 3000....
