Please Nick, for the love of God, let prozon take your truck for a spin before you hook up the brakes.

Prozon 05-27-2010 01:05 AM

Yeah Paul, that's genius.
If your gonna unhook the brakes before I drive it, let it at least be a piece of **** Rustang.
Nick has worked too long on that thing to have it drive through ten cars trying to stop.

Pff. If your trying to kill me, the least you could do is not throw in innocent bystanders! :P

Removed rear axle, driveshaft and suspension
Installed rear 8" superduty springs (direct bolt in)

Prozon 08-31-2010 11:40 PM

Whats it look like now? Are the axles under it yet?

Kirbys73F100 08-31-2010 11:45 PM

looks like frame and springs from the cab back. I've been pouring concrete and building a garage big enough to put the truck in, among a thousand other things. i'm going to debrake and flip the hubs on the rear rockwell tomorrow. i need to measure for u bolts, spring perches and spring plates and get those in the works too. rear axle should be hung soon. I'll have to deal with shocks and a driveshaft after that. Then I'll turn the truck around and start on the front.

Prozon 09-01-2010 02:02 AM

You STILL haven't de-braked the axles?

hav24wheel 09-01-2010 08:11 AM

Wow, one slow build tread this has been. Lol. I am kinda curious how its going to turn out.

Kirbys73F100 09-01-2010 09:28 AM

Don't hold your breath, I have other things going on that are more important than this offroad forum. I'm not going to waste too much time posting what I do on here for y'all to pick apart. Id just figured I'd let y'all have the pleasure of knowing the progress on the truck.

Prozon 09-01-2010 01:03 PM

OR lack of. :D
Just giving you **** Kirby. Don't take it too personally.

So I sold my '84 F150 a couple months ago to fund this project to an 18 year old kid. Needless to say he took it out and tore it up. Killed the almost new throw-out bearing somehow and offered for me to buy it back for the same price he bought it for... I bought it back for pennies on the dollar, fixed it and sold it again today. Waiting on my reinvestment to produce income is one thing that had the project halted. Now that I have my money back, I'll be buying my hydraulic steering and pinion brake parts soon.

i see you've been to the cheeto school of economics. sell until it comes back around, and then sell again to maximize profits :D

What was the first selling price, how much did you buy it back for, how much did you spend on parts fixing his screw ups, and lastly, how much did you sell it for the second time?
