IT ROLLS! (Pics)

It is finally a roller. Painted my frame after a complete rebuild. Rebuilt springs, new pins and bushings, new kingpins, all new brake parts, master cylinder and tubing. 9" Ford diff and finally two coats of '04 chebby Cobalt blue paint. And a set of wheels thanks to Ross (ALBUQ-F1).

Now I can roll the frame out and bring in my cab and put it up on the rotisseri.

I need a work truck like that! My poor 1992 F150 is just not cutting it anymore.

Looks good.
I got another one you can paint.
What are you going to do for a drivetrain? I can see that the rear is no longer factory.

Thanks for all the comments. My plans are to start on the cab now, then the drivetrain. I plan on putting the original flathead V8 and three speed on the tree back in. Then the final color will be lime green.

Not quite sure what the rear end is from but I was told by the junkyard it was from a mid '70s F100 with 3.73 gears. It has bolted right in except for the spring U-bolts. It looks like the shocks will bolt right in also although I haven't fit any on there yet.
