The one picture is right after I rinsed it off and I do like the shine. I might throw a flat clear on it I just haven't decided yet

Got the floor painted and the seat and belts mocked up. Yes there are 3 belts, I have two kids so I can't leave one out lol. http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b209/ohioxtreme/Mobile%20Uploads/F0918D2A-A772-4FBB-8D9C-2B2AA0CDAA2C_zpsc5uhqyld.jpg Also got the first coat on the rear of the frame. http:...

The shop needs cleaned and she needed some sunshine

I don't know if the video works but I have 7 inches of travel and very little camber issues. This is on my shop compressor as just a test at about 80psi.

Let's see if the video works, the front is alive

I used a technique called "Z'ing" the frame. Basically I cut the frame rails on each side of the front cross member (left & right and also front & behind). Then I raised the section with the cross member 3". This allowed the frame/body to lay all the way down when the front s...

Thanks for some insight.

I don't plan on laying mine out like yours. I just want it low when I want it low. The camber doesn't bother me to much. Most of the time she will a few inches lower than stock height when driving around.

Did you have to channel your cab to lay out that hard?

No CV. Bag on stock I beams. I had the bags laying around so I figured I'd accept the challenge. I will put the CV cradle in when I get sick of this

The front is already bagged I just need to plumb the lines. Hopefully I can do that and get the shocks sorted out in the next day or two

User name "grump" hooked me up with a stock non dented fender to cut up and use as a patch to delete the other dent.

Thanks again grump

I'm new to the site but I figured I'd start a build thread. This is my 65 step side with a heavy "patina" hence my name. I plan on leaving the exterior just like this for a while. I want it to drive reliably with a decent bag setup. I have picked up most of my bag parts second hand from fr...

Excuse the mess. That's the remains of a billion grinding and cutoff wheels and 52 years of Ohio rust that falls off every time you look at the truck

It takes a while only working a little bit each nights after the kids go to bed. The notches are in and the frame has been plated near the notch

grump wrote:Ohiopatina, I think I can help you. I'm replacing my rear fenders because they have little rust holes, too many to repair. The part you need seems to be in good shape if you're interested.

I sure am, you can email me anytime pauls112@hotmail.com

I was hoping to patch it since I'm keeping the exterior body relatively untouched for now. I don't want to have one brand new fender.

Come to find out I have no idea how to add the pictures

I'm from central Ohio and just picked up a 65 F100. I've already dove into it headfirst and replaced the floor pans and flipped the axle and perches. I want her to sit low but I'm not trying to lay frame or anything crazy. It is getting a modest airbag setup. I am keeping the "patina" for ...
