95 F150 - Project Marilyn
Posted: Sat Sep 26, 2015 10:48 pm
Well I have been looking for a nice clean and fairly low miles white, 94-95 F150 supercab, 4x4-- and I finally bought one! This one has 141K, no rust MT truck, is an Eddie Bauer, no ABS (score!), a manual transfer case, and a decent newer aftermarket stereo! It also came equipped with one of the finest pieces of bumper on the front, some CAT mudflaps and all kinds of little trinkets.
So I am wanting to build this truck so that I can have a genuine performance truck that can take to Baja or any of the BITD races, camping, or possibly haul some greasy mess in the back and hose it out later.
I love to see build outlines and how they change so here is what I am looking for:
Exterior:
-Fiberglass fenders F&R
-Prerunner bumpers F&R
-Factory paint that has been touched up to look new and fresh
-Possibly paint the chrome an Argent color or new fresh chrome factory accents
-Window tint
-Baja HID headlights
-LED bumper lightbar - possibly a roof lightbar
-Amber/Blue dust lights on the cab in the factory housings
-Clean every inch top and bottom of factory sheet metal to be free of dirt/road grime
-Spray-in bedliner
Interior:
-Detail speedo cluster
-LED lights in the speedo and cab
-CIPA 36500 rearview mirror -compass, temp and map lights
-6 speaker stereo
-new carpet -black
-new headliner -black
-convert tan to a black/tan
-Reclining suspension seats
-Recover the rear seat to match the front seats
-WInters shifter in custom center console
-Sparco steering wheel
-Race radio
-Lowrance GPS
Chassis:
-Clean, degrease, wire wheel clean and paint with Imron satin paint
-Replace the rivets with 1/2" bolts-Stover nuts
-Delete front gas tank and replace with a 38 gallon tank
Drivetrain:
---Engine-
Replace factory 5.8 with one I already have that has a E-303 cam, 1.7 roller rockers, all new FMS gaskets, hardened pushrods, Lightning tubular intake, 24# injectors, MAF conversion, Bassani or custom exhaust
-Extreme motor mounts
-Saginaw power steering pump
-130amp 3G alternator with Optima battery and 2-gauge battery cables
---Transmission/Transfer case-
-Punisher V/B
-Extreme mount
-Clean cases free of all dirt/road-grime
-Add floor shifter in cab
-Replace slip-yoke t-case with fixed yoke flange style
-VSS conversion
---Differentials-
-4.88 gears
-uni-ball pivot points
-9" wider over stock
-L/S in front, Spool/Detroit in rear
-Ford 9" rear end
-Manual locking hubs
---Brakes-
-Convert brake system to -3AN fittings and SS flex line
-Stock booster (possibly hydroboost)
Suspension (3" over stock height):
---Front-
-2.5" King C/O
-2.5" King triple-bypass shocks
-air bumps
-Limiting straps
-12" longer radius arms
---Rear
-Deaver J40 springs or Deaver 64" spring-under
-Longer custom shackles
-outboard rear shocks
-bed cage
-2.5" shocks -- reservoir or bypass (not sure at this point)
Steering:
-Saginaw power steering
-Initially just widen the stock steering
-down the road- convert to swing-set steering
-factory steering box to start out -- then like to look into a 4-bolt GM steering box
Tires/Wheels:
-35" BFG KO2's
-Method 17" non-beadlock race wheels
