Going back in with new rotors, calipers, polyurethane bushings, brake lines, master cylinder, and shocks...

Truck looks good!

That brake line looks too tight though. I'd worry about turning and bumps/full extension at the same time.

What are your plans for the rear wheel well?

It also looks like the front lifted some. Is that because of F250 spring pockets and F350 springs?

In the pic the suspension is fully extended. "The shock is maxed out" turned it from lock to lock and the line was never in a bind. I was worried myself... I did have to cut the little tail from the spring due to the spring bucket differences and left it a little long. My plans are to remove the I-6 and 3speed from the PO this winter and install a 460 EFI/E4OD.?. At that point, if it doesn't settle down some more I will trim some more off of the spring. As for the fenders, I'm going to make some custom fenders...

Well, I haven't got to do much with the crew here lately. I've had a career change which means a lot less time to play... However I did get to play a little over the holidays. :woohoo: Not much to report, but some progress. Got the 40/20/40 from a '97 F-250 installed, and some newer styled mirrors mounted on the doors... Will try to post some pics later. Having some issues.?.?

Nice...... I wish I had the space for a crew.

Have you thought of using flareside fenders?

Thank ya sir... i've kicked around a few different ideas. Flares were one of them. But I've rounded up 2 pair of front fenders from a F500/600, I will cut from the middle back portion of each fenders and splice the left rear to the right rear and create one fender... It will require some metal massaging but I think it will look factory ish... :D

Everytime I see the members on here from the south, I get a sting of jealousy. I have scoured 3 junkyards and was only able to find a door, driver's inner fender,and a relatively rust free cab that wasn't beyond repair. Two of the yards I scoured were in northern Arkansas, that's where I found the cab and fender. It looks like you have a clean build going on. I love bump crew cabs and it looks like you got a nice one.

Thank you sir. I actually have 2 bump crews. I have a 72 F-350 crew. I've had it for almost 20 years now. I'm putting it on a 93 F-350 4x4 chassis. It's quite a project... I've been trying 2 post pics lately but it keeps telling me my file is to big. I'll see what I can do. Do you have plans to attend Fred Nelson's show this year???
