My ford buggy project
Hello all, i have been building suzuki's for years and decieded to build a ford buggy. I am new to building fords, so any info or recomendations welcome.
I started with a 77 f150 4x4 rolling chassis.
351m, c6 203-205 doubler
removed all drive train and started bending tubing.
Here is what i got so far. It is a work in progress.
Let me know what you think. The guys over on Pirate are not very friendly.

what happened to the rest of the truck? since you just took the drivetrain, i would suggest going to the 4x4 forum on this site or the engine forums. we love our old classic trucks on this forum, so dont show us the remains of your f150, we might cry, lol.
anyway, looks like a good plan!!

that looks sweet!! i wish i had your garage! are you going to use any of the ford sheet metal or grill to give it a touch of history like they do on jeeps and landcruisers? you could give it a narrowed ford nose, would look cool i think.

I was thinking about a laser cut blue oval emblem, with flames on each side. Welding it in were the grill would go.

Thats a big stretch calling it a Ford since the only thing that will be left is the drivetrain...
Nice job tho. Congratulations on graduating from Zuk's to a "REAL" truck platform
