Thanks guys, I always want to tower it and make,it handle better in high school. Many years later it is happening. I just got a quote today on everything for a 6 speed swap. If I start savining now by the time I'm dead I can afford one!!

Get the inner front fenders and what not degreased and under coated over the last few days. I will begin the
Suspension work this weekend!!!![

Sitting on its own weight
It's not done by any means but I need the lift for another project. I did order my competition engineering adjustable strut rods. They should be here by the end of the month. Then I need shocks and brakes then we will move on to the rear end

 

[lowbudget50]

So after banging my head against the side of that F100 we are building and and my oil pressure issues with it I decided to roll it outside on Friday afternoon and drive in the old Fairlane. Quickly we had the old rear leaf springs removed and we're installing bracketry for the new four- link. My homework proved to be correct in the fact that these 66-67 Fairlane run the same back half as the 68 69. So all of my link brackets and links went on to the car with ease and about two and a half hours later I had my 4-link mocked up under the car and was able to set it down and take a look at the stance. The front end will now be going down a little bit lower because this is how I wanted the car to sit when I started this. Next Friday hopefully I will get it on a lift in the afternoon and I will pull the whole suspension out from underneath of it and fully weld everything

I've not seen an upper bracket mounted on the front of the axle housing before.
Does it make any difference whether it's on top or on the front?

I never had either but all of their bolt in kits they self are like that. I honestly don't think it'll make a difference because you still have good separation between the two top and bottom links. I guess we'll find out
