Earlier this year I decided to build a custom 4-link suspension and coilover setup for our '83 347 Stroker build. I started building the front end, but gave up when work got busy. Fast forward a couple month - A buddy of mine referred me to a local guy who is known for building Rangers. Here are a few pictures of the bed and frame reconstruction as of Thursday. The truck is expected to sit pretty low - See brochure.

Build details:
- Narrowed rear with 3.89 35 spline rear and Baer disc brakes
- QA1 coilovers
- Custom roll bar
- Lowered
- Relocated custom gas tank
- 17" Billet Specialties Rims and low profile tires

I will post pictures as the build nears completion.
