F100 53 ... making a tilt front end !

Guys , as I've got to take the front end off my truck to do a disc brake upgrade , re-wiring and work on the 351w , am considering modifying the front to a tilt one .... on a scale of 1 to 10 ... how difficult a job is this ? and what who should I be talking to about parts etc

If anyones done their own and it works would love to see some pics ...

Cheers

Greg

hi Greg

lots of info on the site on tilt... both fiberglass and metal... do a search on 'tilt' and you'll find it all

here's a link to onehttps://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/2...front-end.html

hope that gets you started....

afa the one to 10 scale a metal tilt is a 36 and a fiberglass is 1,342

later
John
