Very nice. Did you have to lift the body at all?

Sorry. I'm used to a couple of jeep forums with a different format.

Anyways, did you have to do a body lift for space in the wheel wells? Any tire rub?

[QUOTE=F-250 restorer;18064056]Here is a shot of my front lifted '75 f250. It has a super tricked out c6, 4x discs with hydro booster and SuperDuty master, saginaw p/s pump with braided lines, aluminum cross flow radiator with a dual electric fan, 3g alt, MSD through a DS2 dizzy recurved, redhead steering box, all new steering linkage, rebuilt column, trick boosted tunes, headers, and a tricked out I6 300 that makes more hp than an oem 360. I'm about to install a ZF trans and new engine with trick rods and 351 pistons and custom cam. *The old thing about this engine is that because of the large pistons and relatively low flow U turn head, a cam has to have about 280* adv. duration, and 220 @ .050 to get a lope at idle. But that means is that you lose the down low grunt this stump-puller engine is famous for. After much research, and the help of some 300 I6 gurus, I've had made the first cam for this engine to supply a lope at idle and low end grunt. There is not ONE cam on the market that supplies both. But I have it!

Very sharp! When you say "front lifted" are you referring to a leveling kit? How much lift?

1975 F-250 300 Inline 6 4.9L 2wd. 285/75r16 American Racing

1975 F-250 300 Inline 6 4.9L 2wd stock ride height
Tires: Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT 285/75 R16 126R E1 RWL
Wheels: American Racing AR62 Outlaw II

She's been in the family since my Dad bought it new in 1974. Currently restoring her to better than her former glory. I'm the baby in the photo at the bottom. That's Yosemite where we'd go camping when we were kids.

These are the largest tires I could find that would work without clearance issues. They are perfect. The wheels fit with grinding about a nub about 1/32 of an inch off the left front dual piston caliper as it would rub the inner edge of the wheel. The passenger side fit fine. Single piston calipers might fit without issue.

Only two I ever had. Both were good rides. Both had ice cold AC in the summer, I've seen frost develop on the inside of the vent wings near that dash outlet.


'70 CST-10 I promise, it's a 2wd. It originally had a 402 BBC, but a 350 SBC when I bought it., so it set up in front.

'72 C-10

Very nice. Here's a pic of my 71 Cheyenne I ordered new. BB 402, bucket seats, all the options.
Within 5000 miles I had 12" rims with Mickey Thompson rears, 8" fronts. Sig Erson cam, tarantula? high rise, 800 Holley, 3000 stall converter, 2" hooker headers. Pictured in front of my car shop I had.

I subscribed to this thread quite some time ago to see all the 2wd, but apparently never posted mine. So here it is, '79 F-150 Custom SuperCab 2wd (when I originally got it home)


What it looks like more recently.

I would have to confirm with a tape to be 100% sure, but I believe it's 155 in.
