well ill start a rebuild thread for mike since his computer sucks
well one of my buddy peps favorite fords is at my buddy mikes shop getting built into a race truck
this is how it started out


then a few months ago this is how it looked


today i went over there and he was working on a bumper for a bronco and asked if could help him out in any way so i tore the rest of the crap out of the rear end of the frame from the cab back
now it looks like this

later on this week im goin back over to cut the frame off after the cab
he has the kingpin i-beams for the front are there and the radius arms will look similar to these

heres a pic of the lower trailing arms all tig welded

 

got more done today i got the front end out from under this thing while mike was dicking around with a bumper for a titan



then we hacked the back half of the frame off


then we kinda semi half assed mocked it up at full bump

 

a couple thing he has sitting around for this thing
a currie 9 in center section that has been modified for a 10 in ring gear
and 3.5in axle tubes


some king pin ibeams and knuckles they will be made into equal length
beams something similar to these


and 14 in kings for the rear there will be a bypass shock as well

 

awesome. Looks like its going to be a sweet truck

 

Got any pics of the class 1/pre-runner in the background?

Looks good. Wondering why he's not going with a fabricated center section for the 9"?

 

holy freakin crap batman! im excited to see the end of that!

 

wow, keep us updated! looks good man.

 

Sweet truck. Can't wait to see it finished.

 

its gonna look clean!

 

how many inches of travel were you getting out of that SFA???

 

about 12 inches the way the shocks were set up
and i will get a pic of the other two buggys in the shop and the bug


the reason for the non fabricated housing is he can set what ever length he wants on either side plus the cost is cheaper doin it this way plus currie doesnt offer it the way he wants

 

Sweet build, but I hate to see a 4wd get turned into a 2wd.....

 

im not to sad to see the 4wd on this think get yanked out

and i got pick of the truggy and class one on my phone i will get those uploaded fairly soon

 

sweet i love those old fords

 

Some badass rides.

 

Didn't want to use one of these and cut the tubes himself?

Currie Enterprises Racing Rear End Categories

 

obviously not

 

So........whats happening to that front axle? I'm sure someone would love it for a SAS project.

Keep it up, I love that body style, and I love the prerunner look, so this is a match made in heaven. Sweet paint job on the truck too!

 

It's over in the Classifieds already.

nope didnt want to go all fancy wanted to keep it some what stock looking
and again they dont allow enough room for a 3.5 in axle tube
and he did cut the tubes him self

 

heres a couple other pics of whats happening at the shop as repuested

the truggy getting pretty much redesigned the origonal builder did some janky *** stuff



6l ls motor ftw with th400


this will be getting a custom 9 in rear axle as well with a 10 in ring gear



and the class 1

587hp small block was on the cover of engine builder mag
with custom power glide trans




and the bug project that the kid is lacking funds for

 

sick, Everytime I see builds like those I wish I lived down where I could build and use one.
