New to the fourm, but I will be here often, From Tx. This is my 62 that is driven everyday (used as a shop truck). Straight 6, 3 on the floor. Pics are from about 6 months ago. Just thought I would say Hi.

So.....Hi.

Lowering details?

insane1 · Post by **insane1** » February 16, 2008, 5:22 pm

Hey guys thanks for the welcome. I will give you a few details about the truck;

Bought last year for $700.00 w/rebuilt 6, and floor shift. Needed gas tank, and a master cyl. Gave $15.00 for a good tank w/sender, and a new $10.00 mast and have been driving it since.

As for the drop, it was stock when I got it, and I cant handle that!

I do custom lowering, and suspension for a living, and this was going to be my shop truck, so I went a different route on lowering it than most.

Took a center x-member from a 92 f-150 and slid it under this truck. Also instaled dropped beams, along w/raised radius mounts, and a new removable tranny crossmember.

Drives like my 96 f-150 crewcab, parts are cheap and available everywere, plus the track width is perfect. Tires are were they should have been from factory, and keep the same bolt patteren.

As for the rear, nothing big really: stepped the rear frame, flipped the rearend on top of the leaves, and moved the rear end 1" to line it up in the wheel wells, and shortened the drive shaft. Not much!

I wish they would have, then I wouldn't have had to go to all the trouble.

Gday and Welcome Insane1, nice looking ride but try using a finer grade of polish next time you wash her!

Alan,

I like the stick also!

A little late to the thread, but welcome aboard anyway.

Comet will like your shifter idea.

welcome, good lookin' ride....... now i know what the three screw holes in the dash are for. need to locate one of those rear view dash mounts.hmm...

I've had a few people IM me about the front end install, so I thought I would post a few pics. I've been driving it for about 8 months, so its a little dirty, and no I havent put the fenderwells back in. Its a shop truck, its low on the automotive totetum poll in my world.

Plus, it makes it easy to work on!!!!!
