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.

Tonight I installed the license plate properly, as it was just zip tied on. I drew the bracket up real quick on the computer and had my friend Ray at Rayzor Sharp Plasma cut it out for me.
I also installed some sound deadening to try and quiet the cab down some. Did the inside of the doors and the roof before I ran out. Need to order some more for the floor and back of the cab.

Camper special beams and 14 bolt full floater. I'm leaving Friday for the 500 so these will have to wait until I get back to be disassembled and cleaned up.
The beams aren't the super burly high GVW camper special beams but they should be fine after plating. Rear end will get a spool, truss, shaved bottom, and large disk brakes. I plan to use some Wilwood Forged calipers coupled to 13.8" Dodge Ram 2500 rotors. The front will get a similar brake package. Hopefully this rear end is similar to a built 9" in weight when done. I will weight it when it's assembled for comparison purposes.

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?

Re: "Gumby" The 67 F100 Prerunner
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.toddz69 wrote:Where did you end up finding beams, etc?
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.
