Can someone help me identify what these hubcaps belong to?

I found a set of 4 that look exactly like this in my grandfathers garage. Thanks |
if i get the '72 i been dreaming a drolling over,i think it may get its butt dropped 1", 1 1/2"
but theres a lot of work to do before it has to worry about looks... |

Tony, Love the truck. I have been searching for some ideas for a 68 that Im about to buy and you just totally put me in the zone. Cant wait to get mine to the hight of yours. I will be runnin without bags for a while to. But, I still want the stance that your truck has, even if I never get bags at all. Is the ride still smooth at that level?

My rims are 20x9 front and back. Tires are General exclaim uhp's 235/30 front and 265/50 out back.

is it hard lowering the trucks with the twin I beam, id really like to lower mine but so far the shops that ive called said they done do it.

depends
lowering difficulty depends on your desired drop and your budget.

71 lincoln continental. it worked out to be the perfect width. the bolt pattern is different, so i just ran the stock lincoln wheels up front. There was a ton of fab work, but you can look through my pictures and see a lot. the steering box from the lincoln won't work, i used a rack from a taurus. had to notch the front crossmember to allow the oil pan to clear. had to use a summit oil filter relocater to mount the oil filter to the core support. used the stock licoln disc brakes up front with the stock truck drums out back. wildwood proportioning valve to dial doan the rear brakes to allow full pressure to the discs.... and a residual valve in the rear line to keep the drums from draining off. fab new motor mounts. have a look at the picks, and then let me know any other questions.

1971 F100 Lowered with beams in front rear hangers and shackles. 390 C-6 all original paint. More plans for theengine and suspension. I think I'll leave the paint because of the pantina'd look. |

I'm guessing your talking about this one. Someone just did some body work on the hood to make it look like that. It's one of those subtle changes that you don't notice right away. Looks cool.

Great trucks guys!!! Lots of fleets any body out there got any flaresides?

Lucky Strike look at the first pic at how high the bed floor is raised. You don't have to raise the whole floor like that, most people just cut out in the area across the bed floor where the step notches are that allow the frame to sit down over the axle.
|
gotcha, ive never seen that done before, i like the look of that.

patina 69.... damn..... frikin' awesome
