This forum is the bees knees. I literally logged on to post this exact question. I lowered my '69 f100's rear suspension a lot and one of the ways I did this was to flip the rear axle which means I have to install shocks from scratch. I had the same question about angles and directions. This...

Oh I like that, that setup would fit my application even better than most I've seen. Also, I like your tabs better than the Hagen video on youtube. They actually sand off the paint on the fender and door and D-pillar to weld a tab right onto the visible sheet metal. Then they repaint the whole...

Those pictures are worth 1,000 words. Thanks!

You guys are being very helpful, I appreciate it!!!

All very good advice. Any recommendations on brand and/or type? It looks like there's one style with separate hinges top and bottom and another style with a big bar the houses both hinges..

I'd like to suicide either one or both of my truck doors. There are a lot of kits out there of varying quality, pretty vague install instructions online. Have you done this? How did it go? Also, are there options that aren't electric or at least local electric and not a key fob "popper" to open...

Centerlines, yup, haha

A picture of the engine

Picked up this beauty to make an ice cream truck out of. Looks to be a retired postal truck, still has the stickered striped under this bad attempt at a paint job. It says it's an AMC 232 engine. Can I just buy parts for a 1973 AMC Matador with the same engine and assume it will fit ok? Does...

Yeah I guess your definition of modern is what would make the difference. This girl still has twin beams like my '69 F100. Who knows, it could be fugly under all that sheet metal, I dunno.

What do you think would be the issue? Height, length?

She's a beauty isn't she? So I ended up with a 1982 E150 in good running shape for almost nothing. I have absolutely no use for this behemoth but in staring at it I couldn't help but notice how far forward that front axle is. That got me thinking about the look that a stretched axle pickup...

I'm really sorry to hear that. That sounds like quite a recovery. In all sincerity though, if you need anything done at your place Just let me know, don't forget i'm here in Rapid and I drive to Belle pretty often for car parts.

I know we're getting some colder weather now but... any movement on this project? [P

Hey guys, I hope this is sort of the correct part of the forum. This is a little off topic, not a build or anything like that. It has always been on my bucket list to drive across route 66 in an old car of some sort. Last year I got a truck, my friend got a truck and then a friend of both of us...
