I have been steadily doing upgrades since I bought this rig several years ago. I'm starting the process of taking the body off having it repaired and painted. I'm not planning on any severe off-road type stuff more along the lines of the overland expedition type of off-reading.
Well, it looks like my plan will work. As far as the thing folding in the middle, I don't think I need to worry about that. With the roll bar in there and bolted down it's not going to move. Anyway I have it ready for the switch, I did a test lift and it looks like I will have just enough room to slid the new frame and running gear under it. I already have the springs removed from the new frame, once I get the frame up to the pole barn I well have to remove the tires and wheels and set it on my little dollies so I can slide it sideways. Stay tuned for more exciting news!
Nice work. That is my dream truck. What year is that? Is that your '69 in your signature? If I could have any truck I wanted I would either get the '71 baja Bill Stroppe edition Bronco or yours, a '69 Blue and White.
Gerry, I did drive it with the auto, it works really nice. The controller is pretty cool, you can program it with a laptop for shift points and whether or not you want the torque converter locked up or not.
Tim, Maria bought me a set of forks for my birthday last year!
Here is how I have the top now. I need to tie it down a little better before I take it to the body shop, but I can move it around out of way for the time being.
