Steve, is ready to start production on new cross member kits for Ford trucks. This is a new design, improved from the previous design to ease installation and production. Check them out.

Hey Phil, and I think Gil there goes by Charger? I seem to remember the hood sectioning from Allmetalshaping.

Yeah, kits are back into production. Working my butt off to get all the year models done. I picked up a 54 F100 to build for myself, and to do the kits from. I should do a build thread here when I get going on it.

Looks like it should work out pretty good. How low can you get the trurck to sit? Any pictures of a finished install? How much is the sub frame?

This is a picture of a 62 with my old kit installed with a stock spindle.



The earlier trucks sit a bit lower, this one has 2" dropped spindles

Steve,
A build thread would be very much appreciated I think. I have been following your pics on facebook. Thanks
