In my typical style, I let this sit for a while, got a wild hair up my ass, and changed directions again :redneck:

I've always had a soft spot for those old fords. I've got a 75 f250 that I tow with now, that I hope to do something with one day. I can't wait to see how this thing turns out.:awesomework:

looks good. Glen would cry if he saw what you did to his old baby

:haha::haha:


No doubt. I'm not sure which one of them would cry more though. I think Lynn(sp?) had a harder time seeing it go then Glen did. I'll have to bring it back over there when it's finished and see how they react:redneck:

 

[Jay Luke]

Wow! This is a thread I will be paying attention to. I was bummed when I saw it change direction. But I have faith. Those old Fords are badass. Please keep the pics and the superb work going!!! Now stop reading this and go build more cool ****:beer:

Soooper sick

 

[bobbed_84_toy]

Thanks guys. Got a little bit done this weekend. Tweeked the drivetrain around a little bit, ended getting a couple more inches of up travel out of it. Going to start mounting the engine, tranny, and transfer cases tomorrow.

 

[bobbed_84_toy]

Around ride height. Will have 6-8 inches of up travel

 

[bobbed_84_toy]

Full bump

It's pretty snug in there

Trying to learn me some tig welding. I need lots more practice. Making these towers took forever, all cut out with a torch. Mixture of 3/16 and 1/8 plate.

Part of the upper link mounts on the chassis side

Very cool...

I'm not a ford guy, but I'm diggin' this... Kinda reminds me of Kelly's rig...

I should really put the yota back together sometime, it just needs a day worth of work:redneck:

 

[bobbed_84_toy]

Old picture, mohawks all tacked together. I still have all the cardboard templates to make these, if someone wants them.

Lower link mounts, still trying to figure this tig thing out.

Started plating the knuckles today. Adding some plate around the kingpins, and double sheering/beefing up the steering arm
