lowering kits???
hey my dad has had his 73 F-100 for over 23 years he is the second owner and loves his truck! he wants to get it "overhauled" has he puts it, well what he means is that he wants me to do a frame off resto on it. he wants it lowered so he can get into easier and being a hotrod guy he wants it to look aggresive. Anyone know a site or give me directions on how to lower this thing. its a 73 F-100 2wd 302 with a 3spd maunal. im used to going skyward with my 73 F-100 4x4.

DJM Dream Beams can hook you up with dropped I Beams, and maybe even the axle shackle kit for out back... I heard they have quality parts.

Fatman fabrications from Charlotte, NC makes a great kit. I had a friend that used the dream beams, one of his broke. This past years F-100 supernationals in Knoxville had a few 73-79's lowered.
My 79 has a hub to hub fatman ifs installed with a Lincoln Mark 8 engine and tranny mounted in it, cab is still under construction as well as the rear end to accept a irs assembly.
Also Street Rod Engineering of Arizona has a kit available, I have also seen one on ebay that is a little cheaper.
