i had a hole in the floor of my truck and just fixed that. it was pretty rusty too.

:]

 

how bad? i found a 75 with a plow and parts truck for $1800 rebuilt 390 60 lbs oil cold 20 hot its automatic on the road wright now not bad shape :]

 

it was bad. the whole floor was gone thats why i took my bed off too.

:]

ha it was way bad.


are you going to buy it?

 

ya i think so its a good deal! i have been looking at it for about 25 years he decided to sell it about 2 weeks ago and i have lots of parts

 

there is a guy in the bush selling a 72 on a 88 frame pretty good shape 1 dead lifter on a 390 i think he wants $800 maybe less

 

I got wholes on both sides and the PO had a tank in the bed and under it it g ot way rusty and so the front of the bed in the corners is mostly rusted out. I may just go flatbed w/ it.

 

im still not sure if i want to keep it as a flatbed. cause i love the body style with the bump side but i dont know a flatbed would be badass for mudding...

but how did you and your friends do your suspension?

:]

 

you should put more pictures up of your truck. is it automatic??

 

Ya i like the bumpsides too. but my bed is shot and would take as much to fix it or replace as it would to get a flatbed or make one.

No it is not an auto, I wish it was though. I may convert it sometime down the road if I can find me a auto 4x4 that bolts up to my FE.

And once it gets light out I will go and take more. but the front is a cross member made out of angle iron and I used the front mounts from a 250. In the rear I cut some pipe as wide as the frame and milled out the center so the bushings fit and then put the pipe in and welded it to the frame. Kinda like the stock set up.

 

Also, I dont like the ride of the leafs up front, feels to stiff for me. but they are probably still in the break in period. But I am thinking of going to a coil sprung D60 up front and either do a 4 link or a 3 link w/ panhard bar. So that is the plan when I get some money too. It has bout 8 inch of lift, but I want a few more so a shackle flip in the rear may be in the works once the coil sprung comes into play.

 

to bad you dont live by me i have a c6 for a 390 but its divorced

 

Ya too bad. and I would like to have a married set up cause the retards who did my exhaust welded it all together and it has the H pipe right after the transfer so there is no room for a divorced

 

that sucks

 

do you have any other trucks?

 

ya it does

kinda, lol, i have an 85 bronco that i just put a 460 fuelie in.
