1970 ford crewcab restoration, wyoming.

Hello highntight. As you can see I photos front core support shaved down. One thing I haven't done yet is do a spring loaded version at pins instead of washers! It's on the list of things to be done! Hood hinges are normal but I had to build up about 3/8" of glass. Also have a metal plate inside to help support glass. Everything seems to work well! Only other upgrade is maybe buildup glass under hood at front pins! Radiator is from mid 80's Ford F-250.

Hood upgrade!
Www.autofab.com builds the hood! You will probably have to make some mods to fit your truck correctly! Not a bolt on and go situation! Their are always mods! One thing I noticed is when driving in the rain the wind helps clean the windshield better! Like the visibility issues with the lowered hood also!

Ride quality 70 crew!
I have went to a lot of trouble and expense to get this truck lighter and ride nice! Upgrading to longer leafs from super duty 2011 was a awesome upgrade! I highly reccomend this for these ole trucks! 2011 leafs are 66.5" long. Measure 100 times and drill once! I have since upgraded to carli suspension pre runner leafs and it just got better! Did do a shackle flip on rear with the 2011 rear hangars and shackle! Older hangars with 3" wide leafs will not fit! Have to use newer hangars and shackle!

Super duty leafs!
Bought a set of factory super duty leafs from 3/4 ton. Works nice! Had to move some stuff Round to get right stance but it's just a matter of drilling holes and these frames drill not to bad! Used leafs cost me $350 for my experiment!
This is original stance with 2" blocks.

I dont know how fancy you are going with your head liner... But I thought I would toss up a couple pictures of mine I just finished in my crew. I'm about 100 buck or less into it. I'm just right below you in salt lake city and bought it from laird plastics a local slc place. 1/8" abs plastic, Took a heat gun to it and molded in quiet nicely.
Don't know if its a route that you were thinking, but its an option... No painting, no cloth, no droop...
