looks like the right direction. I would weld the rear and just throw a lockrite in the front. they run I think $400 bucks. I think my friend used to own that ford. had 44in tsl bias on it then. cool rig. :awesomework:

Needs airbags in rear it looks like....

Well ordered the 14 Bolt Disc Brake Caliper Mounting Brackets from ruff tuff specialists, so that I can do the disc brake conversion on my 14 bolt. And am in the process of trading my 12" lift for a 6" lift. Still looking for a winch, lockers, and bigger tires, and interior cage. haha. Got lot's to do hopefully gonna have it done by late July.
Thanks
