RedneckTexan · Post by **RedneckTexan** » Sun Jan 13, 2008 8:11 pm

I've recently purchased a 76 F-150 4x4 SWB frame that I'm going to put under my 68 stepside body. It came with both axles, steering componets, and a 6" Rancho lift that I picked up for only 400 bucks

Here's some pics.

updates soon

Hey John your camera makes your shadow in the picture look weird. You better check that out. Either that or your baseball hat must have some strange flaps on the sides.

Looks like a great start!

Hey nadams, Down here in Texas, we wear these funny things called "Cowboy hats". They have brims that go ALL the way around the edge of the hat

Anyway, I've been busy stripping down my parts truck and gettin' ready to start buildin'

here's a pic of the donor.

She will be donating the steering shaft,(between the column and the box) the four speed np435 and np205 t-case combo, and front drive line. more updates soon

I'm fixing to pull the NP435 tranny and NP205 t-case, I drive the truck that I'm in the process of converting, so I'm just doing little odds-n-ends and getting ready until spring break rolls around, than I'm going to have some of my friends over for a little cab liftin' party

Sorry guys, I hit a snag, here's the deal, I'm currently doing the little boring stuff (brakes, etc..) on the new frame. Once I get all that done, I'm gonna wait until spring break (third week of march) and I'm going to get the major stuff done (body, engine etc...) So bear with me and stay tuned for more updates guys.
