Remove the tie rod and lower ball joint and spring to get at the nuts to remove cross member from van frame


Just got it close to where it needs to be

 

 

I picked up some 3/4 inch plate to make the spacer for the top of the frame to make it same depth as van frame and some 1/8 inch plate to make a box around bolts

 

I'm going to have to notch the frame to allow the bolts to clear

 

do you know the aerostar frame width? looks like a nice build I have subscribed..

 

Lookin good bro! you plan to paint or powder coat your frame and IFS?

 

I painted my 87 GMC Wrangler frame with POR15 and it turned out nice

 

Looking good Buba. AH! When do you find time to work like at a job? Or are ya independently wealthy like me Bill and Moe?

 

I think Mr. 429 is a local Pimp!

 

Cool I'm going to Homer

 

If he who has the most Fords and Mercury's when he dies wins ...I guess I win

 

Ya got a few, Maybe a bunch Bud. But ya don't have the most. There are guys here that would put Rush Limba or Tim Allen to shame. There was a list your fleet thread going a while back. Liked ta made me cry. Some really cool old Iron for sure.

 

Great tear-down photos 429. It's helpful to see these apart. Thanks for taking the time to take pics!

 

You can see in the pictures how much wider the van was compared to the F100
