also i rattlle canned the paint... of course I wanna bag and drag this truck n ive got a ford 302 n tranny for this bad boy but first things first, this is a learning experience for me, and my daily driver. having said that whats the next step to laying this truck on the ground? i wanna knock out the small stuff first (like the disk swap)before i atempt crazy big stuff.

 

Your pics didn't come up. Check the pre 75 discussion board, there are couple write ups that will help with the disc brake build.

 

Start practing your welding man. If you wanna bag it yourself you should have a good welder an good welds. You'll need a notch 4 link or 3 link. Probably bag cups in the front since there's coils an not torsions. It's alot of work but worth it IMO

 

I'll try to get some pics up tonight.

I was already reading up on the disc swap, my driver front drum is dumping fluid and is pretty scary to drive so I'm ganna make a trip to the junk yard Sunday.

I would like to take a welding class but I don't have time.. Any major structural welding I can just have my brother or boss do.

 

couple of pics of ma work so far

not the most awesome stuff but heres the back droped with 3'' blocks



then with 2 coils cut up front



also heres 2 of the paint in progress. you can see the bottom was how it looked when i got it as well as the stock stance

 

Nice start!
