same cable both sides it is 4" shorter than orginal cables so I extended the rod .

So I put the bed on to work on the fuel filler, and then i wanted to see the stance of the truck so I bolted some more stuff on.

Thanks is nice to be able and step back and look at the truck, in the garge I was hoping it would come out how I had it pictured. Wen i first pulled it out just sat and smiled looking at it. The coyote is FAST! sounds cool too.

I have explorer rear disc brakes on my 9" rear. So that end of it is stock. The part from the cab to the lever on the cross member is stock except for the bracket that bolts to the frame under the cab. I had to shorten that and weld it on when i boxed the frame. I extended the stock adjuster rod I think about 4" . The cables that run to the rear are stock 2006 E 150 -250 I see if I can Find part number .I had to swap the heavy spring on the end of the cable with a lighter one from advance auto.
96050 Left Rear for the following vehicles:

2005-2006 Ford E150
2000-2006 Ford E250
1999-2006 Ford E350
2003-2005 Ford E450

Inner Cable Length = 57-1/16" / Outer Housing Length = 46-1/8"

I used two of these from Bruin Brake Cables and 2 Dorman - Autograde Springs maybe part number 40521 I don't know for sure I ordered two sizes and used the one that fit and was similar in size to a stock explorer spring, All I remember was each spring came in its own Huge box from UPS box had to cost more than spring but free shipped.

I am not sure if you posted in my thread, sent me a pm or an email but I swear you sent me something about the stock crown vic mounts not working but I cannot find it anywhere....

You are right, its not even close to fitting. Well its close, but not really.

Is there any chance that you have any photos of your motor mounts? I am curious what you came up with. Read through your build thread, truck looks great.

I see 2" up 1" back and 1/2" to drivers side.

Thanks in advance for the info.

Been working on the interior. Finished gluing up the ostrich on the headliner panel today. My home depot insulation is here same stuff detroit muscle sells. hope to finish up the interior over the Holiday. Looking for a cargo light switch. might use the newer 4 way flasher switch if I can find one Not sure if I like the light up switch knob.

OK finally started working towards the e-brake setup you figured out. I have the explorer cables that I can rob the springs off of. I was just wondering what you used or how you got the springs back onto the E150 cables?

I used a set of springs I bought at advance auto/ To get the springs on and off I threaded them if that makes sense. Sort of like how you put keys on a key ring.
