Welcome to the board from South Mississippi. Nice truck you have there!

ProSt67 · 07-21-2004, 01:08 PM

Thank you all for the welcome! I just dug out some more pics of the back half with the bed off.
1967 SWB Small Glass Fleetside-Inline 6(207,314 printed on the title) Original purchase price $550. Rust in all the regular places. Rockers, corners, and much of the floor was replaced. Full frame up—Narrowed/Notched/Boxed in places-Moser Ford 9 4.56-Coil over triangulated ladder set w/panhard-406.
10 point cage inside with 2 bars through the cab to the frame under the bed. The tubs started as uncoated aluminum and it was noisy....but the 3 inch exhaust drowned that out. Fuel cell in the bed behind the rear. Stroker SBC/TH-400 was built and waiting....but a 502 ended up living in it's space.
The lowering was all static. Lowered A-arms and 3" Bell spindles in the front. The rear was physically relocated as you can see. Discs placed all the way around.
It has seen equal time between street, strip, and weeds due to this silly thing they call life....Life, and a complete lack of working space, always gets in the way of building the toy's. I am in the process of tearing it back down to the frame and the info I find here is immense! Up front, I am hoping to go tubular with bags. The rear will get bags as well and possibly tucked further up into the frame. Possible switch to a 4 link as I have a spare set hanging.
I am quite excited to begin working on her again. I will be sure to post progress pics as I move along.

GMan69 · 07-21-2004, 01:41 PM
