I'm still trying to figure out how to get mine in the gallery. For some reason it won't accept most of my pics, weird.

The tires are 34 10.50 ltb's and the lift is ???? I think 4" b/c it had the lift when I got it. But I did replace the coils(which came from a half rotted, bare chassis), shocks, stabilizers, c's, bearings,drop pitman, etc. I also took out the 2" block stacked ontop of the factory block and put in a addaleaf. It really increased the hauling capacity but sacraficed some of the ride quality. its just my project Ive been messin with for about 5yrs. I mud bogged it for 3 yrs, then decided to get it tagged and drive it on the street. I paid $100 bucks for it. I pulled it home, put a battery, belts and ignition coil and it fired right up. Granted Ive been toying with it ever since, doin things one at a time. It really needs body work, but my brother works at a body shop, so when we have some spare time, we'll get it lookin right. i know, i know its says its a 79 f150 but its titled as a 74 f250, hence the split grill.(eventhough the rad support is from a 78/79 w square headlghts, which required some drilling to mount the round headlights.) And the front bumper is a rear step bumper that I put up front. I havent had very good comments on the bumper(says it looks weird), but i put it in for function rather than appearance.
BTW I had a heck of a time trying to figure out how to set up a gallery. But I went to the UserCP's button, went to Edit Gallery and added an album. but you have to fill out the top two lines and scroll down to the Browse button.

I knew something was off. From the picture, it almost looks like there are spacers that push it out from the truck. Now it makes sense. Thanks for the info, I guess I'll give it another try.

You know a man is proud of his truck when he puts the brand on it twice. Nice looking Ford Ford. That's a big difference in the before and after in my opinion.
