Re: 93 F1 Flareside
Got the rear suspension patched up and back on the ground, everything seems okay just needs some limit straps and should ready to run. I also got the hood mounted and some lights bolted on the front bumper. Need to find some paint quick as white fiberglass drives me nuts!
The tank patch was a little tricky but not too bad, haven't installed it yet as the sealer direction calls for 96 hour dry time so I'll have to get to that next time.
Also got some fancy new lights from Tony which i'm looking forward to getting installed as well.
Anybody need a stock black hood? Free if somebody wants to come by and pick it up.

Designed by Kris, owner of shockseals.com for his bronco. Made by Betts. Any additional information you'll have to get from him as I don't have more details. Not sure if he would get any more made, but maybe, you will have to check with him.dtbback wrote:

Re: 93 F1 Flareside
Those wheels you have are oem castings from Ford. I have seen old class 8 trucks from when Ivan Stewart drove a step side Ford running those. They are strong, and and have the effect of a beadlock because they are narrow, and tuck the sidewall of the tire. Only problem you will notice when running 35s on them is that they will rub the radius arm and your turning radius on an extended cab will be more like a crewcab longbed. I've been running them for years, and love Em. Can't get the photos of my Bronco to load.

Re: 93 F1 Flareside
Thanks for the feedback Eric! Curios on your turning radius and radius arm rubbing info. Do you know if the offset on these wheels is different than the Alcoa bronco wheels?
I've actually been sorta impressed with the turning radius of my truck, it's only on 33" right now and it runs the Camburg radius arms a little at full lock but it's better than I thought it would be.
I'm thinking I may widen the front end an inch or so per side eventually which will help the radius arm rubbing concern with 35" tires.

Re: 93 F1 Flareside
I got the truck painted up, longer shackle installed, and limit straps in there the last couple weeks. 7" eye to eye shackle was the max that would fit with hanger in stock location, I had to trim a bed support rib to wedge that in there. Seems like it leveled things out pretty good. Hoping to take it out this weekend to shake it down and see what I've got.

Re: 93 F1 Flareside
O yea, and I got a new heater core installed too and seems like everything with cooling system is a-ok. Still seems crazy that is what caused the weird cooling issues.

Looks awesome!!! I'm loving the factory side steps. I really want to find a pair of them for my bronco.

Not sure if this link will work but here is some poor man helicopter footage. Rear definitely needs some work.

Re: 93 F1 Flareside
Seriously man, truck looks great! I've never been a fan of flaresides but this truck all came together great. There's a black extended cab flareside for sale near me, gives me ideas..
Re: 93 F1 Flareside
