thanks everyone...
and thanks to my bro
doors are mounted, front end on, and bodywork started

 

whats the name of that color or paint? looks like my Flaresides paint. Electric Currant Red.

 

i have no idea what the name of the paint is... its extra from one of my bros projects.


my dad did a lot of work wile i was gone... i ran some wires for my amp and my dad put the carpet in. not sure if im running subs yet or not



my dad made kinda ghetto speaker bracket for the rear but it works

back window and headliner in

 

LONG OVER DUE UPDATE!!

soooo since my fuel tanks were nasty i bought new front and rear tanks. i also stupidly bought a 33 gallon bronco rear tank that has been an absolute PIMA!! i got about $80 in fuel pump assemblies at the pick and pull. im so glad im done messing with pumps
Decided that i wanted to sandblast use chassis saver on my frame and under the body... it turned out very good




The Frame Paint




Front Tank In

And the bronco tank hitting the bed!

I used old straps out of a really old box truck thats rotting at my dads shop

cut the beam accross the bed to clear the rear fuel tank

also bought a super cheap keyless entry/remote start

Blasted my steel 12 wides and bought some 15x12 weld scorpios


Rims sitting on the truck, after i fixed the broken hard brake line and added my longer rubber brake lines

much bodywork ahead

 

keep going, it looks good.

 

Looking like its starting to move right along now!!

 

Lookin great man! Makes me want to start on mine right now! MORE MORE MORE!

 

Please sir MORE!

 

That truck is really coming back to life. I look forward to seeing it finished. I think those 15x12 wheels are a bit wide. Maybe I missed it somewhere, What size tires are going on it?

 

thanks and i like the wide look. probly running a Toyo 33 13.50 15 open country m/t... not sure yet
plus i still have to put the lift on



im ready to drive this thing!

 

That should look cool with those size tires. I was just thinking that the wheels would be too wide for the tires, but that probably won't be the case then. I'd get a steering stabilizer for it. I have a Monroe stabilizer thats black and looks factory.

 

Since you're lifting the truck anyways may I suggest a stabilizer from the same guys that build your shocks.

 

the lift i bought came with a steering stabilizer... i dont quite know what it is really supposed to do.

one thing i want is sway bar drop brackets but i will probly just make those

 

I completely agree

Have you ever tried mounting 13.50 tires on a 12" rim? You've got to stretch the sidewalls quite a bit to even catch the bead mounting surface. I can pretty well guarantee that you're not going to like the look, unless you want your sidewalls stretched wider than the tread pattern. The smallest tires I've ever seen that fit on a 12" rim, and looked right, were 38x15.50 Swamper Boggers, and getting them to seat the bead was no picnic.


EDIT: Other than the rim selection, I have to say awesome build! I likes it

 

thanks but you dont know what your talking about. plunty of people have done this and it would only look ugly is if i got a completely non aggressive tire mounted on a 12 wide.



this is an F150 with 6 in lift on 33x13.50x15 TSL's on 14 wides
