Same shifter I went with and I think it looks great! Unfortunately, my tranny sits a little high and Im going to have to raise the area up around the shifter a few inches. I wish I didn't have to because I love the look of the shifter boot flat on the floor.

Wow what an amazing truck! I recently got one and hope I can do half the job your doing! Question for you about your mustang 2 front end, did you use drop spindles or stock height? I love the stance on your truck

Good Morning Sir,
I’m currently taking on a 1955 F100 project with my grandfather! Was wondering we’d be able to email you with some questions and maybe get some guidance along our build! Thanks!

9 inches to the bottom of the front gravel pan...7 inches at the front of the running boards...7 inches under the front cross member and I have about 5 1/2 inches where my exhaust goes under my transmission cross member.

My panel had 6 inches of clearance under the front gravel pan and it was a pain and why I raised it 2 inches and now I can roll a floor jack under it without driving it up on blocks first. They might look cool lowered into the weeds but so impractical ..
