52 Ford F1 "NEED HELP"

[projectF1rat]

Ok so for the most part I got the truck taken apart. I have new welder, cutting torch and grinder. I will be running this truck fenderless I want it to be slammed going to shorten the box down to about 40". Narrow the front. Prob is whats the cheapest and easiest way to do so. I was going to do like hotrod preacher but I noticed some guys slammed running parallel leaf springs. Ill be running a 305 with 350 turbo and orginal rear end. Throw me some ideas. Thanks alot guys

Heres my .02. The cheapest way is probably to "Z" the frame rails. It may not be the easiest way but it won't cost you very much and will get it lower. I think I have some photos of an F1 with a heavy frame "Z" somewhere. I'll take a look in my files. If you are trying to avoid spending money on things like a dropped axle or different springs, your options may be limited.
