It's all custom. I'll take some pictures and post them when I get a chance.

My bed has hit my cab a little too, but I think it twists less since the rear springs are moved under the frame.
Nice looking truck... We actually get a lot of full-size rigs up on the trail here. I'm working on a '70 Ford to use this winter.. Cab and heater
That truck looks familiar to me... go figure, a white LB Ford.. I knew a guy (trucker) who had a truck like that and his son (an electrician) bought it off him. The rig I know had a 78-79 P.S. setup on it.
I was hoping you would say you've got power steering; that thing would've been a handfull without it! Nice rig for sure. I love my crew, but one day I'd like to own a regular cab highboy too, as a toy. I'd love to lift the crew, but I have a hard enough time loading it with the 33's .

That nice 67ford, I did my power steering the same way, I only added another 4" lift to clear the drag link. I would like to hear how you did the drive shafts ?
Thanks, it's my favorite truck too. I'll try and remember to take some new pictures next time I go wheeling. Small world, my wife is from Glens Falls and that's where we had our wedding 15 years ago.
I did manage to get temporarily immobilized out snow wheeling. Here's a picture:
I really, really would like to see the setup pics but, all I see is little red X's.
Anyway someone could link them up or could you PM me the pics.
My work computer won't let me view any of the pic hosting sites (Photobucket, Flikr, etc)
Thanks.
