Houston lurker

Post by Broncow »

My name is Alan, former San Diego resident now living in Houston. Was an early bronco guy, now working on an '86 bronco and '84 F150 (the kids first truck). Mostly the truck for the last year or so. Was supposed to be a quick fresh-up that turned into a full frame off resto-mod.

Tried. File too large and I'm technologically impaired. Forgot how to use a computer since I've been using an iPhone for the last 6+ years.

There was an app for that, who knew.

Thanks Nick.
DT, that's our first attempt. Second hopefully fixes discovered issues.
The beams were cut top and bottom to accommodate leveling coils without ballpoint thingies. Idea was low lift-long travel. But the top ball joint nuts hit the coils. Still an option with coil overs. But we're trying to keep it simple. Got anothe set of beams in the shed. And the steering will probably be rethought as well. Trying to keep wear items to off-the-shelf.
Out of the box thinking is expensive.
