I was thinking of starting another build thread for the F150. But I think I'll just add my questions and updates here.

Here's a couple pics of probably a week or so after bringing it home. ( I think )

Had to pull the shocks to replace springs in the coilovers.

It had 33's on it when we got it. And the rear end gearing made it run super high rev's on the fwy. So I picked up some 35's and that helped it out a lot.

I also put on my old acro HID's on the front bumper.
I just replaced all uniballs on the front end. I have to pull the bypasses off the rear end and rebuild. And rebuild the front coilovers.

Now that we are all caught up. I'm wondering if I should pull the bedsides or get glass for the rear.

Future plans. Are to put in a set of suspension seats. If course they will have to match the doorpanels. And in the immediate future she will probably be getting methods.

So. Pull bedsides or glass??

Glass hands down if it's got enough track width for it.

Bed sides are cheep way to go but I agree glass is the way to go

Jose, what are the specs on your f1? And maybe you should start a separate thread for it so I'm not all by my lonesome.

Nick is just envious of all the brake dust on the front wheels.

Ha. I was just giving her crap about how dirty her truck was!! Part of ownership was keeping it clean just as important as keeping fuel in it.

Working on a few little things here and there.

Thanks to Tony for letting me in on this little upgrade. I feel like I'm so out of the loop on this one. Haha

New steering made a difference. Took the unwanted slop out of the wheel.

hobbyturnedobsession · Mon Dec 16, 2013 6:22 pm

How did you extend the tie rods Jose?

I just extend the adjuster. It has worked good so far.

that's how people have done them for years. Should be fine

hobbyturnedobsession · Mon Dec 16, 2013 6:35 pm

Looks good! I was just curious as I couldn't see it in the pictures.

Rmc · Post by **Rmc** » Sat Dec 21, 2013 12:11 am

I and my friends have beat the holy crapola out of the type of extension and never a failure. The ball joints fail before that union. I also rosette it on each side in 2 places. You'll have no issues.

So I was cleaning up the dash area and noticed the driver side where it bolts up right near the window. Is completely cracked apart!!

I know this is common. But is there any fix for it. I'm not looking forward to putting in a new dash because of this.

I was thinking of an easy fix like JB welding the crap out of the pieces and trying that.

Any ideas?
