Yeah, you better ship it closer. I got a line on an add-on type if I can get the owner to let it go.

I got leafs on my 67 prerunner and they work ok. They dont compare to a four link though. Looks cool though. Im selling it on ebay to get money for the 68 4x4 though, a front 60 will cost you some serious $$!

U started working on these old fords young huh? I got my 67 when i was 15 so I was just a bit older. Im 18 now and work in a fab shop. Looks like we got something in common huh? Keep up the good work.

hers the 67
