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.











Bought a new 9 3/4" Housing from Ford and all small parts. (Cheaper than a used junk yard one)





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

Of course needed to add a limited slip.

Running a 3.15 Gear. Great for a Turbo truck with a low 1st gear.



Time to drop in the engine/trans combo





Rolling Chassis Done







I would think it should be emissions legal in all 50 States.

Mounting the cab on chassis was a huge chore because I chose to lower cab down over the chassis.





It took days/wks just to find proper location for cab on chassis



Of course then fitting box to new chassis was also a huge job



Decided to make attempt at installing the new F150 floor and firewall into the '66 Cab





Along with the new dash. Because of all the electronics they simply would not fit in the tiny '66 dash



Bought a new 4 post hoist to help with my builds.

Of course it would not fit thru door as promised. So they left me to chop it apart so it would . .







After a slight modification to new firewall corners it fit in the '66 Cab!

I had to widen the back of cab to fit the new chassis.







At this time I dug a hole to bury it in . .

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"

I removed front box panel and shortened box in front for proper wheel alignment.







Bought some new wheel tubs for a early bronco as same as F series

Used a laser to help get box level







Also built a new fuel filler to work with the capless fuel system

















Where box was shortened
