The second red 1976 F100 is mine if you have any questions, it retains the I-beam suspension but it is on air ride. The first truck is a 67 F100 and has a modified front clip with double a-arms arrangement and air ride as well. I know the 67 truck very well too.

Luv the ride height of your F100. Notching the front rails of the F100 chassis will let the corvette cradle sit close to the chassis to give a similar ride height. Do you have any interior pic's of your F100??.

I have plenty of photos. If you want to send me your email, I would be happy to send you some pics. I don't post pictures on forums very often.

PM'd.

Cleaning up the chassis rails today, I still have crossmembers to cut off. Should be on the chassis table tomorrow. So far 42 hours have been put into this project, keeping track so others mite wonder why Pro shops charge the money they do for this type of work.
