So I am moving from my other thread that was in introduce yourself to here since it makes more sense.
The plan: 5.0L D44 HP front, Ford 9" rear, 5.13 gears.
Haven't been on a in a while, school kinda came first. Here is a recap of what has been done and a couple new things I have done.
This is what she looked like when I brought her home.
Did a dove tail on it since, why not.
The bed sitting back on the frame to show how much of the bob I did.
Got the body lift on and this is showing the difference in height it gained.
Got the frame cut down to size to match the bob.
Got it all lined up with the body lift on, and looking at it for the first time sitting properly. It was amazing how the body lines acutally lined up and how the holes to mount onto the frame all lined up.
Mocked up this 36" on some leaf we threw under there.
Not much progress has been made, drove her up to the farm so I could work in the shop and she blew up(kinda expected either had a bad valve or lifters), so I haven't been around to work on her.
I did just buy an 88 f150 for a motor, trany(m5OD-r2) and tcase, doner. Headed back up during spring break to pull the motors and do a reseal/upper rebuild on the motor. Transmission needs some work too I am just hoping it is the shift tower and not the internals of the actually trany. Will then also get the rear 4-link built so I can get her back on its own feet. Decided since she blew up and didn't need to drive it back home that I would take the time and just 4-link it instead of doing leafs and then 4 linking at a later time.
Now we are up to date.
