Hello everyone my name is Zac and I own a 1977 F100. I've owned this truck since I was 6 years old. I'm 22 now and finally decided it's time to build my truck. I don't have any pictures of the truck as a whole so bear with me here.



Day 1 spent stripping it down.

I've decided to do the CV swap with a 5.0 power plant. This truck originally had the 460. Rear end has been fully finished ford 9" disc brakes, posi 3.73 gears.




Got the Cv set into place to mark my holes.

I have more pictures to come. I picked up a set of boxes that sit in the frame rails to bolt the suspension into. I'll have pictures of all this shortly today!

CV ifs mounting boxes

Got all the holes drilled and boxes burnt it. I will say to anyone if you wanna spend the money these boxes are the way to go! 3/16th steel with .250 Dom tubing inserts on the insides. Makes for a very clean install




Everything bolted up.




Interior is already complete.





A little teaser.
