Ok, good to know.
They say that mechanic's own cars are the most neglected, when it comes to maintenance.
That seems so true with many guys that work on cars for a living. I find it funny but understand.

Got lucky at the local JY today. Was able to find a 14 Bolt rear end from a 75 Chevy van, some camper special F350 beams/radius arms/spindles, and a new set of hood hinges. They are pulling the parts for me right now... so that means I will be able to get started on the new front suspension and rear axle after the 500.
Looks like the truck will be about 70" WMS in front and rear... with my wheel and tire selection that equals out to about 86-87" outside width.

Man I love me an old ford, looks awesome with the 39's too.
Are you happy with the sound mat? Quite it up quite a bit? Hoping to do an interior cage in my truck in the next 6 months and definately want to sound dead inside as much as possible.

The sound mat makes a noticeable difference just opening and closing the doors. I won't know for sure until after I use it next week in Mexico but I bet it will be much nicer. I have vinyl floor mat and a headliner ordered too... I'm sure those will help also.

Where did you end up finding beams, etc?

One of the local JY had a set. The first time I went there they said no. Then I asked for the rear axle and they drove me around and I found 8 sets of equal length beams.
I have another set coming from Ryan Jubera someday....

Got my driveline back from Adam's in Henderson. I recommend them to anyone needing work done. They got my driveline done quickly without any BS. I had them retube it since it had a slight bend and install solid u joins (no zerk). When I upgrade the truck to 1350 or 1410 joints I will have them build the new shafts.
Also fixed a small trans leak coming from the dipstick tube, did an oil change today, and replaced the drivers side header gasket.
