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

Still have to plate and brace them all up. 3" over stock height, 4.5" over width and done with molesting the BJ area. Pretty stoked with the outcome!!
