just ordered por 15 for the frame and underside of body, topcaot, and high temp paint from por for the headers.
also ordered new core support brackets, poly body bushing set, and a new body lift kit

 

Body lift huh, how many inches ???.........

 

it seems to be the around here the more you strip a truck down the more you find rotten haha. best to start from scratch in most cases.

 

truck has a 6 inch skyjacker suspension lift, the biggest you could go at the time with a ttb, and a 3 inch body lift
i agree

 

looks good can't wait to see it done like your 97

thanks hope it turns out just as good

 

Thx for the info Matt.....

 

more progress tonight, got steering box, master cylinder, brake lines, fuel lines harness, tie rods, front axle leaf springs all removed, removed all the brackets. got too late so in the morning we are getting the rear axle out from it and off to the sanblaster it goes, with a big pile of brackets also
parts also came in just waiting on the por

 

Holy chit. That's some serious progress! Jealous.

 

Very well done last night Matt, almost a bare frame there now, who's your helper?

 

this morning went back over after i got off at 7 30 am and we took the back axle out and the rear hangers because they were pretty thin

then got the frame onto the trailer, was the first time using the quads to do it, it worked great, almost like a rear steer fire truck ,

then got the frame dropped off at the sandblaster along with the brackets,
and then later we had to pick up our uncles mf baler

 

Thanks but hey anyone can do it, just takes some sweat

yup and now it is hahaha
but that's my uncle Paul, the one who helped me build my truck, surprised you didn't recognize him from the pictures through my build
but I'm more the helper, he is the brains of the operation hahaha

 

Looks good matt. How did you get it up on the quads just lift it or what? I know with me my 2 brothers and my dad we were able to lift a stripped F150 frame but you only have 2 people there.

after we took the rear end out, it was on jack stands on all 4 corners.
backed the green quad up and he lifted the nose of the frame onto the rear rack, then he got on the quad and i picked up the rear and walked it out till we had room to pull the brown quad in the rear and put it on the front rack of that quad

 

That's cool I wasn't sure I thought maybe you got some guys to help you or something. I just read back and saw you were going to use the 351 but delete all the emissions crap are you going to cut the cat off or what or did it even have a cat? I can't stand the emissions crap either most of it is out of our 84 B2 and my 88 F150.
