Anyone here know of a Pro Street dentside ? I just picked up a '78 2wd shorty. I've always dreamed of building a Pre Street 78-79, and now it can happen (if I ever finish my 79 Crew!). I'd love to see some pic's if anyone's got any. Thanks as always !!!

check out my gallery ,I have Pro-Street'ed a 77 F-100 & a 65 F-100 , I also have a article here (FTE)

Have you thought out how you are going to Pro-Street your truck ,4 /Link, ladder bars , or moving the leafs inside /or under the frame?

THANKS for the response !! I like your truck a lot, nice build !!! I have a few questions maybe you can answer ? I'd like the truck to sit low to the ground AND run steam rollers out back. Do you know if this is possible ? Second, how did you lower the front end ? Kit or home job. Thanks for any help

 

I've always liked the look of this truck...

good luck with your build!

 

Here's two. Unfortunately I don't know any specs on them.

 

That is almost EXACTLY what I've been looking for !!! That is freakin BADASS looking !!!

Thanks for the nice words, I have not lower the front of the two Pro-Street trucks , I have pulled a

trailor with the 77 ,and also hauled a 351w, c4 trans, and a rental cherry picker ,in the tubbed bed ,

all in one load !


Keep us posted on the build, take lots of pics ,and maybe start a build thread !

The way that we are lowering the front of mine is by having a frame shop bend the I-beams. You must also run shorter springs when you do this. Hope this helps.

As far as dropping the rear end down the best way that I have seen is to C notch the rear frame above the rear end.

Also anyone know where I can find a hood or a scoop like the one on the blue truck?

Thanks,

You can get that full fiberglass cabs, doors, fenders, beds, front clips at usbodysource.com, and at up22.com. That hood looks to be full fiberglass and not just a scoop, and looks like a model fd-384 4" rise at up22.com. It weighs only 60#'s and cost $400. I'm sure that would save about 100 + pounds on the front end of this truck....a great start. Now if you could just stuff a 2011 5.4 aluminum block GT500 motor in there....102 + lighter than iron 5.4, 550hp, 510 tq, with decent mpg. That would make a great start to a killer pro/street truck. Speaking of that, does anyone know of anyone who has ever pulled off a 5.4 swap into one of these trucks?
