Yours to Scott! Thank you. Had a list of stuff that I was going to get done this winter but haven't had time yet. My wife always wanted a Jeep so I picked up a '93 and been working on that with all my spare time for the past 3 months. Just about ready to paint it pink! Then I'll be off the hook for a while and can get back to my other junk. Thanks again.
Gregg

Just like all the other gearheads on this site, I would like to show off my ride, a 1979 F-150 2wd SuperCab. This picture was taken a couple years ago and now it is under some more mods, removed front end and motor to start a 514 stroker 460 rebuild for starters. Hope you enjoy!

Fordguy 545, could you post some photobucket links showing your rear suspension setup?

Thanks.

This is the only picture I have of the old rear suspension
http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c1...Picture024.jpg it was basically a homemade ladder bar made out of 2x2 square tube using the stock front leaf spring mounts. Airbags were mounted on top of those. But in using past tense, It all started getting cut out today in favor of a competition engineering magnum 4-link. http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c1...5/P1010048.jpg

Hard work that paid off. If it would have been easy, you wouldn't have the truck you have.

Slowly but surely...

Owned her for almost a year now, somewhere around $4500 deep so far. Runs perfect, but still looks like a POS...

And I second that.......GREAT RIDES TO EVERYONE SO FAR...... It's cool to see how people customized their trucks. Definately some great ideas.
