you still gonna do a real motor swap there russo, or ya keepin the I6...

 

Got a zf5. So eventually, need to find a good 351 and start building.

 

the 36's look way better man, truck is looking good

 

atta way! russo I think i may need to take the top end off of mine... i think i burnt a valve last night.

 

I'm tossing around the idea of putting the zf behind my 300 and taking care of the axle first. Pass axle drop bracket isn't perfectly perpendicular to the ground, so the tire is sucked into the wheel well a good two inches, with these wider tires I barely have enough between the coil, brake line, and tire. I might drop the axles again and redrill to center it up some, maybe.

 

sounds like prime time to throw a solid under there, I had a buddy rig up those ttb ext arms (same ones you have) to work on an old king pin ford d60, just buy the axle brackets from ballistic fab that are pretty much what the 05+'s use. Or just use an 05+ of course

 

Meh. I wouldn't bother with any of the ttb parts. Either make my own arms or extend out the 70's ones with some DOM. But that cost money and fixing the ttb is free. Not that it doesn't also need ball joints and probably gonna need wheel bearings soon.

 

I wish thats all my truck needed, I just found out last time out wheeling I busted the body mount rite near the driver door threw the cab body and there is zero suppost there. Got to love the rust and rot assosiated with these trucks -_-

 

tell me about it... the black 93 that i had was terrible... i could pull the floor mat up and look at the frame...

 

Believe me that's not all it needs. I don't even feel safe driving it on the road right now.

 

Damn Russo... Love the way it sits now...Very good look!

I just wanted to share - FINALLY got rid of that ugly bumper gap that I had before...And took off those bars...Can't put into words how happy I am haha I cringed everytime I saw that gap....Sorry for the edited picture.

pull the cab off and fix mounts... it's a task, but you're watchin my results in my build tread.

 

Looks even better now 89f150. Were your little bumper guard things in good shape?

 

It was nice today, I came home and decided today was the day to gut my intererior. So now I can see all my holes and rust. Driver side along the rocker panel is bad, can see the drive way between rocker and were some floor should be, one good hole in driver side back corner. And I pulled the plug on driver side that gives access to the body mounts to check out that body mount that busted up. I think its actually fixable and over all its not actually as bad as I was expecting. It will sit this way a while though because Im thinking if Im going to cut out parts of the floor and patch I should do cab corners and rocker panels same time.

And 89f150- I think the tool box is a good add visually besides the obvious advantage of having the box. i always though a long bed looked better with a box in it

 

well, i i gotta say is patch and cover...
