This project turned out pretty good.
The motor runs good the brakes stop
and it rides good.
...it still rides like a F-350....but i like it that way

[possom dodger]

[Mad-Fabber]

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year
I hope everybody has a good build year

In the first pics I see you used half of the rear springs for links. It would seem it needs some sort of track bar or panhard bar to keep the rear end in place

 

[Robert]

I would like to have seen you leave it as a 1 ton and slam it

 

[Sam_Fear]

Man!!! I totally missed the F350!?! Awesome build!

 

[Mad-Fabber]

It has a panhard bar . I used a tie rod from a Crown Vic ...
and the F-350 frame was shot. All the seems were swelled
and the frount end was a little loose.The reason the frame went the way it did is because the 48 cab was nothing but a shell and the 60 had glass and fit the frame a little better .and it helped the truck get really low .Witch makes it a blast to drive




THANKS

James Bond tech like flip up licence plates...
It paints a fog line at regulation distance from the vehicle so the cops never have an excuse to pull you over

 

[Mad-Fabber]

that would be the exhaust ...makes for a good rumble

 

[clamor]

I thought that might be it.
I've never seen a forward exit exhaust...love the fender exit.
