Awesome truck. what is that on the tailgate and can we get a closer photo of it?

Ospguy · 10-14-2013, 04:32 PM

The bed is boxed in - solid tail piece (no tailgate). The panels are aluminum that I had machined to match the fins on an M/T Valve Cover. Panels are recessed into the tail piece. I'll see If I have a better pic and will post.

I'm posting again, at least I think I already posted, because I've learned more about what is actually under it since the trade...

Drop spindles -2.5" cheap single piston...I think 75 mm, stops alright tho.
Drop springs? Still unsure but the front cross member is only about 3.5-4 inches from the ground.
9" ford rear end with leaf springs under Axel tubes
Air shocks with the upper mount relocated(not enough imo)
There's prolly 2"-3.5" depending on psi in air shock between Axle tube and frame. Also the same distance between to of rear end housing and floor. If the shocks are empty or low it'll bottom out but it does good when there's a lil psi added. She does lean to the back passenger side a lil, I'm assuming it's just worn leaf springs..?..
Anyway, I want to get seat belts, then some good sway bars for sure.

Good Looking Truck.
How did you drop it 4/6, parts or cut?
What size tires do you have?

endlessearth · 11-22-2014, 12:49 AM

Finally got that low and level look that I was seeking.

endlessearth · 11-26-2014, 12:43 PM

And again...but now with smaller diameter tires.

Thanks man! I think that a long bed that has been lowered and has a very flat stance (with little or no rake) is a pretty cool look.

Beautiful truck. Awesome job.

It's amazing how much wheels make all the difference.

Monte's62 · 12-18-2014, 05:46 PM

rusty1962, man you got it right in that 3rd pic. The stance looks good and as mentioned, those wheels make a difference.

rusty1962 · 12-18-2014, 06:02 PM

Thanks, Lot of work already done you can't see but Still Long way to Go!!!

endlessearth · 12-18-2014, 06:43 PM
