Hkyswim build thread

Well after a very long an eventful 8 years I am finally getting the truck put back together and hopefully it will be on the road by this summer. This winter I was finally able to get the engine and transmission mounted brake lines all complete and suspension worked out. Now that some work is getting done i wanted to get a build thread going for future updates.

I ended up going with a 302 engine from a 74 or 75 F100 Ranger along with the front disc brake conversion from Speedway and upgrade in the master cylinder. Using rear brake hardware from a 65 bronco to get auto adjusting rear brakes with stock shoes and drums.

any questions or info on parts i used i will try and help out as much as i can, ive got a lot of help along the way and just wanted to say thanks for it!






er cylinder.

finally got the cab test fitted last week to finish welding in the engine and transmission cross members
