yep, de-arched springs....4" inches in rear, 3 1/2" in front. I'm going to notch the rear this fall to make it a tail-dragger

 

Love the look... I am wanting to lower my 64 as well. I was thinking of having the eyes reversed. Have any of you ever heard of having this done on a truck. I have seen a variety of cars that this is done on.

I am thinking this will allow me to maintain the load capacity while still getting it in the weeds (tall weeds, but weeds none the less).

thanks

Matt

 

yeah, but just reversing the eyes will only get you about an inch or so lower...you'll have to de-arch as well.

if you want to reverse the eyes and only de-arch 2 or 3" that would probably work. I didn't get mine reversed only because of the fact i was afraid that I wouldn't be able to get the springs back in the shackles...

 

Cool, thanks for the input... your truck looks great by the way.

Just picked 'er up yesterday! 1963 I6 3on the tree LOVE this truck already!! Have plans to cleen up some of the paint this afternoon so I'll get more pictures on here later tonight.

 

@ JamesTW Nice truck! Can't wait to see pics!
@ Jinal Can you put pics in your gallery, then link to post,
I couldn't link in to photobucket.

Working to bring my '65 out of the forrest this week. Wish me luck.

 

Cool James, cool truck!

 

Its so amazing what just a couple cans of paint can do to the appearence of a ride!! Got a few more pictures of 'er in the album.....more will come of the interior as soon as I get it all cleaned up.

 

my old 1962 f100 pickup. when i got the monster it was just under 100000 miles. it needs a lot of work... but after a year of small upgrades here and there she runs like a champ! my buddy is in the cab getting ready to run it (i was messing with the idle and mixture)

 

Looks like another nice one!

 

Nice, I like that color...

 

yeah, once i get it functional mechanically (or close to it) then my next task is sanding it down and painting it...

 

I bet you could just wet sand and polish it and it would look great!

Clean looking truck you have there!

 

that was right after a polish it has some cancer here and there and the passenger side rear tail light housing is all effed up...

the last time i polished it though a lot of paint was coming off in a powder form on the rag... *shrug* i am not sure what i wanna do with it.
