If I lower it, I'll have to do a body drop on the sleeper. Oh well, I'll figure it out. I may also have a nice pair of 100 gallon or 150 gallon aluminum tanks coming for it too. I also priced some 6" exhaust pipes, and they'll reach about 3 feet over the cab roof (if I lower it back down). Air ride is not going to happen any time soon (too expensive).
Nice project Joe! I went a little different direction with mine...........I'm mounting the 56 F-600 that's in my gallery on a 68 F-350 CC chassis. It has a 430 ci Lincoln with a C-6/ with a Warn overdrive, Dana 70 dually rear/ with 4:11 Detroit locker, and will be slammed to the ground. I'm still trying to find an old "50's" style small sleeper to mount on it. I'm going to pull my 35' tandem Axel duel wheel trailer with it. I may have some extra 56 F-600 sheet metal you may want. I've got a cab, fenders, Etc that I need gone. Maybe if you could find the sleeper I'm looking for we could do some trading?
