the wanna be drag truck

Post by bbfhnj »

this is my 1969 ford f100 swb 2wd ranger it has a bbf 460/c6 swap heres the pictures and a few mods that i have done hope yall like
Image
Image
the worse place on the truck is the right door has a small dent.
Image
Image
Image and this is a few pics of me taking care of some old tires
Image
and this is what moves the farm truck on down the road

Image
the b&m proshift on a home made mount
Image i had to do something for sound so i installed this
Image
this is where i mounted the speakers (kickers) dont do what i did
Image
now i like something that people can here and this truck has supercomp mufflers on it and you cant here the truck that good so i put these on.
Image
and this is how i keep track on everthing.
Image
and this is how the truck sits now, im sorry forr the dark pictures but i only get to work at night most of the time
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
i moved the rear crossmember all the way back and will bolt it back in
Image
and this is what goin in that space

the frame really isnt rusted that bad no holes in it so im happy about that, i will have more pictures up as i finish the swap and after im done with this im goin to work on making a lexan back window with a tag box if i can find the right thickness lexan. other then that im trying to save up some money for aluminum heads and forged pistons so that might set me back some, well i hope yall liked all the pictures.

bbfhnj,

great pics, hope all goes well !! i don't know if your running a bumper or a role pan, if its a bumper, remounting the stock crossmember further back like that will make it very hard to access your bumper bolts after the bed is mounted. something i figured out when i was in the process of the tank swap. if its a role pan you'll have no problem :thup: .
