Sounds like your getting it done and I'm still just thinking about it LOL.Lack of funds is a bitch.D-diesel how did moving the rear axle forward 5 in work out,got any pics?Dbrown send me your phone # in a p.m. or email so I can call you before I plan a trip down to be sure you will be there.

Hey MadMark... I live in Indy, and I can be in Nashville in about 5 hours. I bet you are only about 4 hour or less away from DBrown. Just FYI

Plowboy

madmark click the link on the bottom of my sig to see the superford site. there are pic's there.

madmark, if you give me a few weeks you might be able to see a more complete truck. I plan on getting the rear end issue at least "delt with for now" done tomarrow. Then the hardest thing I will have to do is figure out the steering and hook up the hydrolic clutch peddle. just PM me when you think you might be here and I will give you all the info. I think my profile has my email on it, but this board is the best way to get ahlod of me because I can check it while I am in class

well, here is some more eye candy......

I got the rear almost done:

I think I still have to move something though. if you look at this pic you will see the hanger is at. it seems a little tight. I think I might have to move the front hanger forward about 2" by using the hole in front in the second pic.

right on DB!!! i like the shackle flip. did you net any lift from usintg the stock shackle hangers?

because of the angle it is at I might have gotten .5"-1" when I get that angle straightened out I might get around 2". I didn't know if fliping them would bring the hangers in far enough for me to be happy but I think it will work ok. it just seems like I can get it on the road for less cash and it will still flex ok with the leafs. I am still wanting to do the coils in the rear but I think I will wait just to see how I like what I have. next week I plan on getting the fuel cell and wiring situated. my goal is to get the truck done by christmas, but it would be nice to get it done before it starts to get cold here.

what coil springs did you finaly go with?
did you run the camber adjusting C-wedge bushings?
I was going to get the duff springs but I would like to see what all is out their......

well camber you dont have to worry about. the C- bushing's correct caster. i am running 4* C-bushing's and i plan on running 5.5" eb coil's most likely they will be wild horse becuz james duff only makes a 3.5". my other choice would be the superflex coils from broncograveyard. the wild horse coils are $150.00, and BG coils are about $140.00 not much more than the james duff coils.

well, I can now say the rear is done! the hard stuff anyway......

basicly all I have to do is get some shocks, and have the driveshaft shortend about 2" but it all worked out great. the only problem I ran into was my angle grinder decided to break as I was cutting off the last riviot. now for the front........

looking good DB cant wait to see the finished product. so you just pulled the rear axle forward 2"? are you gonna trim the back side of the rear finder or just leave it?

well I kinda have a different idea for the rear fender but I don't know if I want to spend the time with it or not........I was going to split the fender and move the rear half back then add sheat metal to the center to extend it and make it look factory. the only problems I have with that idea is it is going to take a lot of time and it is going to get beat up from wheelin'. so I think I might just cut to where the fender looks proportional and put on some cheap rubber flairs. you can get a roll of that stuff for next to nothing.

yep seem's your thinking like i was when i had all those chioces to make. i though that might work to but in the end the axle was the best for me. no matter it's come'n along very nice keep the pic's coming. are you waiting on the 302 swap? if so i dont know if your gonna want to after you feel the power that pony put's out. believe me she's gonna run like a raped ape.

you read my mind......I was just thinking of that this morning. I want to do the 302 swap so I can pull about 150lbs off the nose. the only thing I need is motor mounts, a flywheel and a clutch. I even located one of those hard to find bell housings with the hydro slave. but I would like to see it run first. so I thought about wiring the 351M and putting in the fuel cell on thurs. just to fire it up. I have a 2bbl intake I could use on the 302 for now and put the EFI on the back burner just to get the 302 going but I don't know if I want to go that rought.....I tend to leave things alone once they are working. I know the 351M is in good shape, so if it does come out it is going in the tow rig. that is the great thing about haveing all ford vehicles......if something goes wrong you just go get what you need off of something else
