I mentioned it to him last time I saw him... I mentioned having him make the parts I've designed for Broncos/Fords. He didn't seem interested.ChaseTruck754 wrote:You should bring this up to Dan. My guess is he would re-works the files about to cut/make a set a few inches taller if he knew they were something people could use.

Oh - ok. I always thought he seemed pretty open to that stuff.
Shouldn't be too hard to raise the things up a bit if you really need/want to though.

Found this photo. I really like the stance of this truck. Hopefully my truck will sit about the same. I'll probably go with a Autofab drop hood though.

It's sitting on the bumps in that pic - although I too love the pic & that ride height IF it would work.
Autofab hood is a must. The gained visibility helps & the weight loss is awesome!

For a street truck I won't need much bump, maybe 3"-4". I plan on tubbing the rear and possibly a frame notch.ChaseTruck754 wrote:It's sitting on the bumps in that pic - although I too love the pic & that ride height IF it would work.

Re: Yup another Philofab Project... 1971 Ford F100
it'll just be a street truck?
Still - at the ride height shown above you think they have 3-4" of up travel left in the front??? Frame notch may very well be needed in the front.

Yep. Just a pretty street truck.ChaseTruck754 wrote:it'll just be a street truck?

Not sure I'd want to notch the frame. I think I would just build a-arms instead.

I've decided I want to find a steel 67 grill and headlight doors. I figure I can find one of those in better condition than an Aluminum one and then have it powder coated.
It's a shame the grills are not made aftermarket.

Be forewarned - the grill shells they make for the 73-79 are paper thin & many people complain about them. You're better off finding a semi decent stock one & putting a little work into it.
*edit* - nevermind. Just realized they only have the 70 & 71-72 grills.

Just collecting parts for it. Oddly enough UHaul has a bunch of parts for these and 73-79. I guess they overbought back in the day.

I knew they had a ton of the trucks but didn't know they stockpiled parts & sell them off. Did you just hit your local U-haul dealer or what?

Painting is stupid. Actually, it's not so much the painting. It's the prep that blows!

Oh contraire... the prep does suck, but so does the painting... I just can't seem to paint anything without a drip somewhere! Paint and I just plain don't get along!SteveG wrote:Painting is stupid. Actually, it's not so much the painting. It's the prep that blows!

I am also not much of a painter. But then again I'm also too cheap to pay someone to do it RIGHT so I attempt every now & again.
