I've been meaning to check out the F150s at LKQ to see if I can find another.

Dang Astro, thats amazing and bold on the transport. Ive used my 96 Accord coupe to transport the rear axle on my truck to the sandblasters years back, and also every 66 c10 fleetside panel minus the hood, and cab. Had to rent a moving truck for that and the frame. Thanks for sharing the F150 info too.

Thanks Dave for the reply and I agree, if i were to buy one Id go with what folks can tell me for sure will work. For now though Ill try taking the track bar I have and blast it and replace the bushings for $10. https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo...83&jsn=8&jsn=8

The sway bar will be a future addition, just bought some belltech shocks for replacements to the oldies along with much more to come, so Im trying to control the wallet hemorrhaging.
