Well I just moved all my pics so here's a recap.

Started with this.


We used this to put it up on blocks. Yes I have built actual stands now.


Then we took the body off


I got a good deal on a 77' f-150 460, c-6, np205 so it had a friendly visit with the chopping block too.




Then the big boy axles came! 5-TONS baby! I still can't get over how big these things are.


everyone should know what this hub is from...

UPDATE TIME!

Cab is mounted, bed is just set on for measurements. Ginormous stack of cinder blocks is just to level off the frame to make sure the cab is on level.



Tire for show


Thats all for now :icon_hornsup:

There's a Ranger by me that's a Gen-1 extended cab and looks like it's on 5-ton axles. It's huge. It's been sitting for sale in some guys yard. It's soooo tempting. But my trailer probably wouldn't haul it.
