been slowly building this for awhile.
1980 2wd body
22rte
dual transfer cases
longfeilds welded front and rear 488s
allied beadlocks.



Heres the parts truck. used the cases and front axle



as the truck sits now. 3rd gen rears springs up front

 

Sitting like a reverse hot rod. Looks good. What's the plans for the rear suspension.

 

I love how far forward that front axle is, it's a nice aggressive stance, ready to tackle terrain.

 

I like the 2wd body, it's just a little different. It's nice to do something a little different.

 

I picked up done f150 springs for the rear . Gonna try those over Chevys and see how I like them.

 

I don't see why Ferd springs would be a problem at all, I think the chebby springs fell into vogue because they're cheaper.

 

I have heard really good things about the f150 springs, what year did you use? How long are they?

 

I believe they're from a 92 f150 and 58".
Picked up a 20r to use while I rebuild the 22rte. Slapped in the motor and it runs great. Also got the trans and cases in and cut the tunnel for the flatbelly.
I'm thinking about going with fror plate to mount the tcase .
I hooked up the on board air and the gm alternator.


Picked up some new door panels. These are probably the cleanest thing on the truck
