88fordf150 · 10-09-2010, 10:56 AM

Got the wheels and tires back on and rebuilt the rearend with a posi unit. Used the original 69 axles I just had them redrilled for 5 on 5.

Robertw · 10-09-2010, 11:18 AM

**67cheby** · 10-09-2010, 11:19 AM

cant wait to see that motor setting in there

88fordf150 · 01-22-2012, 03:36 PM

Its been slow going but I did manage to get a few things done. Started work on my Muncie 4 speed ( Powder coated chrome) and set the motor in the frame.

That looks great!

I hate to be the bearer of bad news tho. I have BFG 275/60-15's and they can't begin to get traction under power with my motor.....so your BFG's certainly aren't going to be able to keep a blown big block in check!

Just a suggestion, try a 4:11 gear, it may help your traction woes.

plan on getting a different rear, that would come with 4.10's and limited slip. like a 9.5" 14 bolt out of a TrailBlazer SS or similar. still not sure it will grab in 2nd then....and I'm sure I'd still be able to fry 'em in 1st even at speed.

88fordf150 · 03-13-2012, 05:16 AM

I have a 3:73 with a posi unit, I'll run it till she blows.

68GMCCustom · 03-13-2012, 11:35 AM

that's been kind of the plan for the last year with mine!

88fordf150 · 03-31-2012, 06:50 PM

been a long time since posted any pics, so here they are.

*low&slow* · 04-01-2012, 01:57 AM

I got them from Speedway Motors for $209.00!! They are for a 55 Chevy big block, they will need to be cut and raised a little to clear the tires but for the price you can't beat it.

**Dieselwrencher** · 04-10-2012, 07:57 PM

Awesome project! I don't think it will take long to grenade that rear end if the thing ever hooks up!

88fordf150 · 04-11-2012, 07:09 PM

I had to see what it would look like. I sat the cab back on and hung a fender. Now I can cut and raise those headers and paint flat white.

**robnolimit** · 04-12-2012, 11:57 AM

Somethin' about it makes me smile.

longbed67 · 04-12-2012, 04:10 PM

This build is something else! In an awesome kick a$$ kinda way!

jonnyNITRO · 04-12-2012, 06:49 PM

That is definitely going to be something different.

tomsprojects · 04-13-2012, 02:02 AM

I know its not a truck but here is my blown Nova with a 871 on top of a small block 383 fun fun

LEX · 05-17-2012, 10:51 AM

Any updates?

88fordf150 · 05-17-2012, 04:40 PM

Haven't done much lately but I did manage to get the headers cut and set in place, dropped them off at the local welding shop yesterday to be tig welded. I want to pull the cab back off and get started on the fuel tank and driveshaft but need more cash flow.

I started covering some hurst shifters in velour to make a few bucks but it's slow going.
