The Lightning chassis has a longer nose than the ‘69 F100 Ranger, so the next task was to shorten the front frame horns and create mounts for the 1969 bumper. The Lightning frame can be seen sticking out in this initial test-fitting photo from the beginning of the project.

The lightning frame was also slightly lower than the Ranger, so the brackets were adapted to bring the bumper height to its proper position on the Ranger.

What's the plans for the mufflers, reason I ask is I just put a http://www.blackwidowexhaust.com on my 6.2lt and it sounds amazing |
We're building a MagnaFlow system for this truck. They will exit in a similar position to the original side outlet, but with duals all the way back.
