The truck I posted prior pics of is now on road driving but still needs paint.
Simply did not have the funds for a custom chassis so just bought a new F150 chassis from ford with closest W.B. to stock truck. Had to paint it as looked pretty rough straight from dealer. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...ps62b70ffb.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...ps909ee522.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...pse7f99a3f.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...psbba14aa0.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...ps16d37af3.jpg Bought a new 9 3/4" Housing from Ford and all small parts. (Cheaper than a used junk yard one) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...pse2dbae98.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...ps105ac71e.jpg It has large stock brakes front and rear. Good to stop a 4200 lb truck. Fronts are 14" forget rears now as too long ago . . LOL http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...pse82c9411.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...pse8b6e930.jpg |
Of course needed to add a limited slip.
Running a 3.15 Gear. Great for a Turbo truck with a low 1st gear. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...ps15d87fd6.jpg Time to drop in the engine/trans combo http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...psf23a4f78.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...ps04736767.jpg Rolling Chassis Done http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...ps157936d3.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...pse638c00f.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...psc450c67d.jpg I would think it should be emissions legal in all 50 States. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...psdb81a43d.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...psce05d91d.jpg |
Had to build my own custom Intercooler and all tubing

Mounting the cab on chassis was a huge chore because I chose to lower cab down over the chassis.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...ps6394c7d7.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...ps0f5d8f2f.jpg It took days/wks just to find proper location for cab on chassis http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...psbca19576.jpg Of course then fitting box to new chassis was also a huge job http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...ps9fa04c95.jpg Decided to make attempt at installing the new F150 floor and firewall into the '66 Cab http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...psb511ce17.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...psaf69ce36.jpg Along with the new dash. Because of all the electronics they simply would not fit in the tiny '66 dash http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...g/IMG_7585.jpg Bought a new 4 post hoist to help with my builds. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...g/DSC04091.jpg |
Of course it would not fit thru door as promised. So they left me to chop it apart so it would . .

Not quite got to point of burying it but was close a few times . .

Then came getting the box to fit . .
Of course I knew ahead of time there was 3" diff between the new chassis and '66 Chassis in W.B. I cut floor out of '66 box and installed one from a 2013 and raised it 6" http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...x/DSC01570.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...DSC01571-1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...x/DSC01567.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...x/DSC01579.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...x/DSC01578.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...x/DSC01837.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...6214ACB146.jpg |
I removed front box panel and shortened box in front for proper wheel alignment.
