I did this build back in the summer of 2013 and just never uploaded anything so while I'm sitting here waiting for my last class before spring break I thought
I'd upload it finally

Currently it won't let me upload any more pics so I'll get on it as soon as I can

 

That is looking good! Did you do the paint yourself or send it out? Powder coating?

 

I did everything myself. I used Rustoleum rusty metal primer to start with (After wire wheeling and sand blasting everything) and finished with Rustoleum Semi-gloss.
All the pictures are on my profile if you want to see everything since it still won't let me upload anymore pics here.

 

Nice job, I'd like to do that to my front end but, just finish the TTB. Need to find a donor first

 

When you hang the front, do you use the radius arm brackets from the donor truck or the new truck?

 

Can't wait till one day I can do an SAS on my truck.


How much lift and size tires are you planning on running?

Thanks Everyone!!

I used the radius arm brackets from the donor.



Right now I have a 6" lift installed for the 79 bronco which gave me 7" using my coil buckets and I have a 3" body lift as well. I gained 10" overall.

I plan on getting at least 38s. College has been draining my bank account so I havn't had the money to get any yet. I'm also considering running the 37" military tires.


And the rest of the pics are up. I have even more pics in my album on my profile
