The Hammer Battalion. This is about the time when we decided to do complete teardown. Davewild's thread was inspiration to perform a CV Swap. The 460 from the monster will go in the F100.

Shuffling parts.

Grinding and drilling rivets.


https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.for...ad20e71a5b.jpg


We decided to box the frame with a C section and not weld on the frame itself.

This allowed us to use the factory radius arm bushing. I never took a picture of the bracket that is bolted to the frame. I will soon.

Metal parts ready for media blasting.

Nice, thanks for taking the time to take all the pictures as well.

You do some impressive work man. Thanks for sharing all those pics.

Radius / Control Arm bracket. This allowed us to use the stock style bushings.

Another angle before paint.

I have worked with 78_f800crewcab4x4 for everything on this build. HIS work is impressive.

Great build so far! Looking really good! If it was me, I'd be halfway tempted to drop in a modular V8.

Really nice work fellas :-X22

Ready for POR 15

Great pictures! And excellent job on the frame work.

Tagging this thread.

Nice work!

I love the work you've done so far and I really appreciate the good photos.

Great work! Can't wait to see this to completion.

Is that your very truck?

No. Someone posted it a while back. Love the color of my truck and you don't see it too often.

Found some 1978 Bronco Low Back seats. Will modify the brackets, reupholster, and use in the F100.
