You did a nice job! I am starting on my 57 soon and looking for ideas. I built my 62 mainly stock with a little mods but now I want to do something different with this one. I ordered a CPP complete Mustang II with rear suspension kit and I'm also planning on a LS swap. Right now I am trying to decide on a rear axle that will work for the truck. My 62 has the same 10 bolt with 390 gears and I hate it on the highway. So I am looking for 70s rear end. Who designed your for panels? They also look killer!

Picked up a new 21 foot aluminum trailer for the 56.

murd969 · 05-30-2018, 05:49 PM

Hauled the 56 for the first time on the new trailer. Worked great with no issues. Much better trailer than the other one.

I like it a lot. The only issue I have is that my fuel tank wasn’t made properly so I ordered a custom one with the internal fuel pump from Boyd welding. I still need to do the learn mode which will self tune it. Once I get the new fuel tank I’ll get it dialed in better than I do now.

How hard was it to hook up the 700r4 with the Sniper EFI? What did you use for a bracket for the TV Cable?

It wasn’t much different than anything else. I’m not sure in the bracket that you’re talking about but I know we didnt have to do anything special to get it going.

I got my custom fuel tank with internal fuel pump from Boyd’s welding. Tank looks awesome and definitely well built.

slck57 · 06-06-2018, 10:31 PM

Nice!!!! I ordered the same tank from Boyd's also.

What tire size are you running?

I’m running 245/35/20 in the front and 275/30/20 in the rear. I ended up narrowing the rear end 2.75” and everything was good after that.
