    got a new toy!

    The first thing my wife said when I brought home a test panel was "NOTHING I own gets louvered!" it's like she knows me. I tried to argue that the drier would work better with more air flow, but the washer might not be the best idea.

    budget frame build

    build a frame, it's not that tough if you can weld. An IFS frame ALWAYS looks like crap. not much cheaper by the time you are done buying suspension, but worth it.

    rear frame under the axle with air ride

    I have often considered this. If you used an upsidedown leaf spring stacked backwards, then the airbag could be used to push the frame to the ground. If you ever blew a bag or line, the frame would pop up to ride hieght.

    ecm quesion

    I am going to transplant the complete drivetrain from a 1994 f-150 into a 1964 f-100. I am wondering if anyone knows just how much of the wiring harness I will need to make the engine run. Where is the computer on this truck?

    Steering

    I think you are talking about cowl steering. There are several threads on the subject here. The biggest concern (to me) is that if your drag link and suspension arm (radius rod) aren't the same length it will cause bump steer. This is when these two parts travel on different arcs and it will...
