Build Thread: 76 3/4 ton shorty 4x4

Ive been so lazy lately and i finally kicked my **** in gear and pulled the tarp off my shorty

The skinny: 76 f100 shortbed 4x4
390/c6/203
Ive been acquiring parts since i was 17 (20 now) and so far in the works is 6 inch lift, 8 lug hp44 with 4.10 gears, matching dana 60 with an lsd, 5 matching 35 inch bfg a/ts, 15x10 8 lug wagon wheels. Shackle flip kit, and a couple 205 tcases. Along with little stuff like a 79 grille shell and other odds and ends. But now for the fun part...putting it together!

My work schedule is rediculous so i dont have a whole lotta time in the afternoons. Gotta love driving a truck! But today i got my front end tore down, blasted, painted, and ready for the gear swap

Hopefully for the rest of the week i can get my crossmember mounted along with my new drop RA brackets. Ill be sure to post more pictures
On a side note, heres my daily driver

I'll subscribe. I think you are just partying to much. That is why you are not getting very far. I shouldn't be saying anything. All I do is stare at my truck and think of what cool things I could do to it.

Oh nice truck! I'll be watching this build. I'm a sucker for big trucks ( lifted ones) and also like the blue paint

Finally made a little bit of progress with my non existant free time. I got the front clip off along and everything removed for blasting and paint

Also finished the shackle flip with skys kit

Heres my donor shorty

And my lovely array of parts stashed in my parents old fifth wheel lol

Heres my bump I sometimes refer too

When i get paid again im ordering the rest of my front axle parts so i can swap the 4.10s. So, stay tuned!
