With the stuff I have it's a miracle if I get one from time to time. Doing a frame-off on the '65, shortening to a step-side, ps,pb,at, ac, removing the door handles & installing remote solenoids, slammed it 4". Now it seems racing season is here & the drag car needs re-assembled, Spoiler needs the 4-speed done... No rest for the wicked & I must have been a baaaaaad boy in a past life Maybe I shoul add a signature?

Kenny, Did you get a beer offered to you for all of the help, I didn't. Course I don't much care for it this time of year. I am more of a Jim Beam man.

It's hard to help these lads when they put the parts on backwards, and want to throw rocks at you for not undersatnding what the problem is. I feel an urge coming on to go find uncle Jim.

OK, my dropped I-beams will be here this week. How do I make sure I have them on the correct side? Never thought of it till now. With my luck, I would have found out the hard way. I sure appreciate this forum.

Here's a link for the instructions, you won't get them. You will love the beams! If you get the shackle kit too there's some things you'll need to address. The holes are too small & will need to be opened so the shackle bolts will pass through them. It's a bear to do the hangars, but it's worth it!http://www.djmsuspension.com/Instruc...eams/beams.pdf

How did you trim the spring mount? I have a 65 f100 2Wd and I got 74 f100 2Wd for a parts truck. I have the same problem with the power steering box hiting the spring mount.

I took a cut-off wheel to it & trimmed the corner. You can use a torch, grinder, a drill with a hole saw, even a BFH.

I have a vast selection of BFH's in my chest.
Small BFH = 3lbs
Medium BFH = 5lbs
Large BFH = 10 lbs
Larger BFH = 15 lbs
Heavy BFH = 50lbs
Heavier BFG = 80lbs
and the Ultimate BFH = TNT

Haven't used the last one yet, but was very tempted about a month ago trying to get a u-bolt off an axle housing.
