New guy from NC

Post by toyoguru »

I have posted on the forum before but only to ask a couple of questions (gas tank issues) and buy a new grill insert set (from a 71 bump). I bought this 72 f100 2wd in 98 and put a reman 300 I-6 in it..as of today, I have put about 14K miles on it total..but have been driving it more working slowly into turning it into a partial daily driver/ cruiser.

So far under the hood Ive done the reman engine, offy intake, holley carb, new gas tank, new fuel lines (rubber), new fuel pump, and new air filter/housing.

After reading the various ways you guys have lowered your bumps, I decided to go a head and do the hanger flip and coil cut. I took out 1.5 coils on the driver side and 1.75 coils on the pass side to even it out. I will eventually do the dream beams/bags or the vic swap and 6 link the back, but this works for now.

My next project is to finish redoing the steering on it and then on to the interior..This site has been an awesome source of info and looking foward to adding as much as I can to this forum as well as asking questions etc..
