Yeah, He raised it up to drive it and dropped it back on the ground when parked.

Saw this bad boy outside the beer store today. Has independently controlled air suspension front and back. Was boppin up and down as he tried to drive and set the ride height.

I like the height and look but the wheels gotta go.

As far as everything goes, I don’t hate the wheels. I could use a bit more sidewall, less teal bullets for lug nuts, and maaaaybe black wheels instead of chrome.

You should take that home with you...

I wish I could.

Thing was mint, had just been sitting forever. Rear legroom was incredible.

I did snag the tire change kit for $8 though.

Get rid of the stupid powertrain/drivetrain and swap it with GM stuff and I'd take one in a heartbeat.

I really adore how they put the stock air dam on their high clearance bumper

That would be the plan.

Someday... maybe.

Saw this at the Leon County Fair Wednesday night. Anybody know what model it is. I couldn't find any stamping other than the "Ford" on the cowl, above the headlights and on the back fenders.

There's an old Ford tractor in the movie "Death Ranch"

It's a pretty solid movie. Trio of black siblings battle a group of cannibal Klan members, well done throwback to blaxploitation films from way back when. Slight grainy focus, 70s feeling soundtrack, total throwback opening credit sequence as far as cinematography and font choice goes.

Well acted, sufficient storyline and plot.. serious when it needs to be, just the right amount of goofiness.. the ending an equivalent of a teabag full of revenge steeped in blood.. Definitely reccomend.

Its a 8N, made from late ‘47 until ‘52.
Paint a little off, should be a light grey where they used silver. Nice though!

Too many parts are painted red too.
