This truck is still completely stock, I am weighing the options of keeping it stock or modifying it. Anyone have any input? Thanks!

by the way dont say CHEVY motor in a ford truck too much around here as i think it gets your topics locked or maybe they get locked cause noone knows the answers

im looking for a good streetrod/hotrod website so i cna gain some answers on the subject of subframing the front.

Chuck, You'll have to forgive us, BTW Welcome to FTE
We get folks registering to use this site only to stir up hate and discontent, with pashionate truck owners. This is the #1 Ford truck site on the WWW, and only deals with Ford trucks. Other than directing you to another site, I don't know how we could help you.
