I am taking this...

 

and putting it on the frame from this...

 

1957/60 short bed has a 110" wheelbase, 1973/79 short bed has a 117" wheelbase.

 

Worked for me

 

Actually PO did it and rear axle was moved.

 

How much lift did you put under that? Looks great that high..
I am going to shorten the frame after we get the cab lined up, and we are looking at around a 6" lift and 35" tires. That's if 6" is enough. May have to run a little bit of a body lift also.

 

F100 if you look in my pictures you can see the way the PO lifted the body, there was no pic of the rear cab supports, they were also 2" pipe, I think about 7" long and leaning badly. Take a look at the springs, the fronts were a homemade brew of 9 or 10 leaves and the rear had 13 leaves. I think when it was all done we dropped it 2-1/2 to 3".

 

Out of curiosity, what size tires are on that in that pic?

 

Well, lift it right if you do. There are a lot of parts to buy to make one of those right. Most of the lifted ones I've seen, they didn't tend to the track bar and tie rod angles well enough and they end up being a bump steering death trap. You'll notice the track bar and and tie rods are pretty much parallel with the ground. If you don't maintain that, it will bump steer. I'm not sure if anyone makes a 6 inch drop pitman arm, I have seen them and it looks pretty janky. The track bar mount is pretty easy to fab. Also radius arm rear mounts need moved down, just adding longer springs throws out the caster or king pin inclination.

 

Original tires were 12x16.5. Current tires are 255 85 r16
