I picked this truck up 9 months ago. Relatively good metal, no engine or trans.
I am building a 1991 5.0 Mustang HO with AOD tranny. Motor will be refreshed but basically stock at 225 HP. I have redone the springs. In the rear, I flipped,the top spring, removed leaves, raised forward bracket, rebuilt hangars. In the front, I replaced leafs and moved axle forward about an inch. Also changed out front axle to a 3 inch drop. Total drop should be around 5 inches.
As for body, I took each panel and made repairs and then painted with two part epoxy to wait for final painting. Currently reassembling 5.0 motor and going to carburation to keep things simple. Trying to address correct oil pan for build so it fits the first time. Planning on tilt hood, considering matte red to be a bit different. Leaning towards ABS interior panels with OEM seat.

Looks good!!

 

Looks like a great project. Let's see some pictures of what it looks like now. :-)
Sounds like your making good progress. Would love to learn from what your doing! Do you have the complete donor car or are you piecing it together. How are you working your brakes? Firewall master, under floor.
Thanks
Zac

 

Fender repair



Skim coat



Rear springs top leaf flipped, stack shortened, front bracket raised and rebuilt.



5.0 back from machine shop.



Front suspension getting shortened stack, shifted forward with rebuilt brackets and pins.

 

There is no donor, just trying to salvage what is there. Just heard the news my oil pan will clear and install a new motor mount bracket.

 

I replaced under floor master with booster. Going to replace the three hoses and then try to find the reinforced pre-bent rear axle line otherwise use the Copper Nickle new lines that are more easily bent. Going to do this after I fit motor so I can make adjustments in frame brackets.

 

Greg, looks good. I want to review your photos on a bigger screen than phone. I am sure I will have questions. Thanks
