Looks good...any pictures of the inside of the door so I can see what you did with that round hump that runs around the outside of the door? Thanks. Are those powered bear claws? And have you tested them with glass in the door (additional weight)? Are you running an additional manual popper anywhere (I was told I needed to)?

i can get pics of the inside for ya....yes they are power latches....yes, i did install the glass, for fitment/position of the latches and solinoid... i dont plan on useing any popers, i think the door seals will do that job fine...

my67chevytruck · 09-23-2009, 08:12 AM

Looking good Don!

VA72C10 · 09-23-2009, 09:05 PM

Thanks for the info...looking forward to the pictures. I am going to use the newer press in style weatherstrip so I'm not sure if that will be looser or tighter than normal weatherstrip so I have a set of poppers just in case they don't open enough.

If you end up needing a set of poppers I got two accidentally so let me know and I'll sell them to you for what I paid. THey're nice aluminum adjustable ones (non-power)

mcbassin · 09-23-2009, 09:27 PM

CRAZY SKILLS! I finally got through the whole thread. Its just amazing how far you have came from start to now. I know you have a ton of hours on this ride......any clue how much $$$ are tied up in it? That power plant alone must have cost some bucks! Keep it up fellow Okie.

68 short step · 10-04-2009, 09:20 AM

time for a little update, the rear suspension had to be removed, because we're going with a diffrent set-up, one that matches the front...so the new ECE trailing arms, and xmember were removed and sold..also here are the pics of the inside door latch as requested (hope this helps).....

nuke1 · 10-04-2009, 10:05 AM

Don, the truck is starting to come along good, really like the bear claw latches, that is something that i am gonnna do to mine yet, are you shaving the handles and locks also, what kind of solenoids are you using to release the latches? THANKS James

72 SHORTBED 7.0 · 10-04-2009, 11:00 AM

Skills you do have, nice work...

**kev2809** · 10-04-2009, 01:59 PM

damn, how the hell did i miss this build. great project man, truck looks good!

jasonhall · 10-04-2009, 06:29 PM

Where at in tulsa are you picking up these fine motors?

68 short step · 10-17-2009, 03:38 PM

while the rear suspension is all apart, i took the opertunity to weld on a drain and fill port on the rear end....this has to be one (of many) dumb things ford did, make the 9" so that you must remove the wheels, brakes, axles, and thirdmember, just to change the rear end fluid...that is just dumb planning IMO...

msgross · 10-17-2009, 04:16 PM

don't hit anything with that drain while driving, that would leave a mess... are you gonna put a guard on it?

68 short step · 10-17-2009, 05:16 PM

i dont think that'll be a problem.... ill have to see what its gonna look like with the new suspension, but im sure it'll be fine. if not ill make it flush

tdave00 · 10-17-2009, 11:48 PM

Are you going with a 4 link on the rear now?

jgh64pkup · 10-18-2009, 12:18 AM

from the brackets he has on it im assuming hes using trailing arms

mcbassin · 10-18-2009, 12:08 PM

I like the oil drain/fill in the rear diff. I always wondered how people put the grease in them. Keep the pics coming

68 short step · 10-18-2009, 08:45 PM

got the bridge made for the rear c-notches.... i made it outta 1.5" DOM with a 3/16" wall...made a little bend in the middle on both, cut to length, welded on...also made a "killer2" logo to match the front PB dropmember logo...
