Nice project you've got. What was wrong with the old cab? Looked to be in decent shape.

 

Its got some rust issues, and the black one is in better shape

 

Got some new photos up guys , tell me what yall think . Hopeing to get back on it in a few weeks .

 

Cool.

I see DJM beams and later model wheels. I see that ya didn't to a rear spring hanger flip and the frame has been refinished. What is your plan to lower the rear?

 

It has the djm rear lowering kit with new shackel and spring perches , should be in the pics, ill have to look . The rims on it are just for rolling , im going with a set of 95 f150 chrome slot style rims.

 

Ah, yes I saw the silver spring hangers but didn't notice the rear shackles.

Going for a stagger? Planned tire size(s)?

 

Noticed your going EFI, what kind of power do you have? Like the progress so far.

 

stagerd , Thinking 275 70 on the rear and 215 or 235 70 on the front not are how wide i can go on the rear with 8inch wide rims

 

Yeah its going to be EFI , The motor is a 302 out of a 91 rebuilt to a 306 wit a good cam and heads , i will be running a 4r70w transmission out of a 03 mustang v6 , the rear end is a 9inch 3.50 gear posi track. Hopeing to get some pertty good power out of it or aleast feel like it dose.

Can give a full rundown of everything in detail of any one wants and im open to suggestions or comment.

 

Kept it simple, thats cool.

 

Really starting to hate that i didnt build a 351w insted of a 302. So now im depateing on pulling the *new* motor apart and putting a set of AFR 165 heads on it and forged pistons so i can put a blower on it if i want more power. What do you guy think ? It has a set of gt40 heads on it right now with hypereutectic pistons.
