And here is how the truck is today.






I used a seat from a 95 f150, installed a carpet set and used a gauge cluster from a 97 f150 since it came with a tach. I still have a few things to do the interior but have put over 1000 miles on the truck since I am using it as a daily driver.

Here is a picture of the fuel tank install.


The rear cross member need to be moved a little for the tank to fit. I also need to grind some on the frame and add some rubber strips between the frame and fuel tank to keep it from rubbing metal to metal. I also needed to cut some off of one of the cross braces on the under side of the bed so it would clear the top of the fuel tank.
what did you use (the rubber) on the straps of the gas tank

It is a 2" wide channel that my dad picked up from his former job. We used it so there wouldn't be any metal on metal contact.

I think that is what we used. You just need something to hold them up.

Not sure that I understand your question. The coilovers are pretty much vertical if that is what you are asking.

Do the bottom of the coil overs extend below the tire rim?


It looks like in the pic that they do, so if you have a flat, the coil over will hit the road before the rim hits the road.

Using my calibrated eye, I have about 2 1/2" between the bottom of the coil over and the rim.
