Been awhile since I have updated. I ended up building another motor since the mustang donor had significant mileage on it. Found a ford racing crate on CL with 20,000 miles on it. Pulled it apart and freshened it up with gaskets. Its a 306ci SVO aluminum GT 40X heads, 1.6 RR, trick flow intake 76 mm...

Been a daily driver for the past month and a half now. 20 mpg is better than my 07. I did c-notch the frame last weekend and picked up some shim to adjust the pinion angle, off 2 deg and there is a slight vibration around 50 but this should take care of it. Here are some pics of a project I have bee...

Got the old hanger off, went to bolt the new one on and not close. You can see in the pics below. I don't think they sent the correct ones. Anyway welded up the holes and made new. Here is how it sits now. Had some time to do a couple of other thing too. Put the passenger mirror on, put the golve bo...

I ordered a new hanger that should give me 1.2" more in the rear. If it's not enough I can flip the original hanger. Because I have the lowering spring I don't think flipping the axle is an option. It would put the housing into the bed. I should get it done this weekend. I did get it out on Sun...

Rick, they are American Racing Torque Thrust II's. Look pretty similar to the coys. Had some time today, so bled the brakes again. Had to replace the rubber brake line in the rear as it had colapsed after sitting so long. I need to take another look at the rear brakes since the e-brake isn't working...

New toy and a few other pics.

Ok, pick up the wheels and tires today after work. Couldn't wait until tomorrow. Here are some pics, but looking for some opinions. I can either raise the front 2" or lower the rear. I may have to do both so it really a questions of how much I lower the rear. I have a set of stock height front ...

Here is my progress in the last month and also some general info on some of the kits that helped. Got the truck started just before the new year. It took me about an hour to trouble shoot after it wouldn't fire. The second hp fuel pump was pumping backwards. I thought the injectors were plugged beca...

The second one goes on the underside of the spring perch. At that point it was sitting on the shock spacer to mock up ride height. I put them there so my boys did't walk off with them.

Few more pics from Nov

Here are the last pictures I have that are close to where I am today. Motor and Trans back in, front clip on. NO wireing at this point. These pics are from nov 2011.

Font suspension mostly complete. Still have the springs to put in when there is more weight

Motor and trans back out to weld the x-member, mounts, and spring towers. Also fabed up the hangers for the trans mount. Since I lost the original trans mount, I purchased aftermarket. After staring at if for some time I decided I would use the mount from the mustang as it was going to take more eff...

Here are the pics with the x-member installed, frame boxed and c-notched for the power rack, tubular motor mounts installed and looks like I have the steering fabed up. I used the original rag joint and took the shaft out of the original steering box and cut off the top 2" for the splines. I we...

Now we are up to sept of 2011 and decided to pick up where I left off. I moved the truck to another shop and started on a plan. I am not real good at taking progress pics, but will try and do better as I finish before SS in KC. Here is what was placed on order: Remainder of the kit: Front Sway bar 2...

Here are some more pics from 2007

Ok guys I have been on this site for many years and often spend many hour watching your work. I thought I would share the progress from the past 20 years or so. My folks bought me a 65 f100 swb in the early 90's for my first truck. Truth be told I really wanted a 65 chevy. Back then the internet was...
