Would eventually like to lower it back to stock, or get bigger tires, and paint that dark red section silver (which I suspect it was originally). Oh and that headache rack gotta go!

 

New to the forum. Love what I'm seeing of everyones trucks. Good to have finally found a f150 home! I have had her since high school! Im 23 now.

 

Looks like it's in good shape

 

KEEP IT! I'm 54 yrs. old and still have my first car. My old 63 Fairlane has been in the family since 65. You won't regret having just sitting in the garage in 30 years.

 

Some of the last pics I have of if lifted. Was gonna sell. Now gonna rebuild and relift with an axle swap.







And stock..


I have a bunch of cool stuff to go on, a bunch of new body panels and am just waiting for nice weather.

 

I will do that! Ya I'm very attached to it. I don't want to ever get rid of her!

 

Just finished up the install of my used 3/4 Chassis Tech lowering kit, everything went great until I realized that the front hangers that came with the kit were wrong and wouldn't work. So it currently has the 3" drop beams installed up front with the 2" lowering shackles and the overload spring removed in the rear. I will be ordering a set of Belltech 2" lowering hangers through work next month.

Here is what it looked like before



Here is what it currently looks like





I think once I get the back lowered the extra 2" the stance will be exactly what I want. Then once funds allow I will be on the hunt for a set of first gen lightning wheels and new tires.

Future plans include installing the set of BBK chrome shorty headers that are sitting in my garage, stop the rust that I have from spreading (gonna rock the 90's "patina" for a few years, install a 3:73 LS rearend and eventually re-build (modify) the 5.0L

 

Looks great bud! Nice stance

awusome trucks

 

I have a 1979 F-350 4x4 that I'm in the process of restoring.



Engine before:



Engine now:

 

That's pretty damn sweet!

 

Thanks! I like working on it. I'll post more pictures when I get it done.

 

1990 F150, has the 4.9L Big Six. Has over 324K miles on it and has never been rebuilt, only major thing was a oil pump going out and a fire under the dash, (recalled the box on the steering column a week after it happened in like 1998). Other then that it's been repainted, I've put a Streetfire Ignition coil on it and keep the Oil changed every 2500-3000 miles, though it takes me almost 8 months to do that cause I dont drive it that much

 

Nice older truck!
