What happened to Tds wheels???

[427blackpearl]

i dont need 4,but it sure is alot smoother to take the turns.a guy at the f-100 show had a set for 300. td and i both were drooling on them,just a little high for us
td still has the 20s. i asked about them as well. he will keep them for now so he can change back when needed

[03rangerxlt]

got the front end of mine down today with some help from a buddy. Well just a little lower anyways. I really need to save up and get some beams!

[ezernut9mm]

friends don't let friends drive stock height trucks.

[03rangerxlt]

hell no! my buddy kept after me to get my truck right so we could get it lower. He wants me to bag it like his blk 95 ranger. his f150 is static dropped. I am sticking static with mine. Need to figure out how to do the back end now.

....BAG IT!

Put the Cab on the Frame this last weekend. I DUMPED the Bags for the first time to see how LO it'd sit....
Ride height will be 3-1/2 inches higher.


Kinda hard 2 tell, but the Frame is ON the Ground ...Looks like the front Bumper will be too!



Hope I didn't go TOO Lo!?...If there is such a thing?! ...Wondering if I'm gonna have to swap out the 2" dropped spindles? ...We'll wait & see!



Still got Lots left 2 do.
!!! !!! !!! !!!

Hey Mike, what did you do with the bottom of the cab as far as color?
Looks to be black?? semi-gross??

[mike68merc]

No, it's the same color as the body. The chassis is Powder Coated Semi Gloss Black. The pics don't show it well, cuz it's a bit dark under there. It's a product like Rhino Coat that we tinted with the actual Body Paint color.



We used it as undercoat: shot it on all the underside, (up to the lower seam on the firewall).
Also shot everything IN the cab (that doesn't show) as another layer of sound deadener. ...Next comes the Dynamat.



Ultimately It'll be used on all the undercarriage, the Inside of the doors, the wheel wells & (with a heavier texture) as a Bed Liner.
....Sounds like a lot, but all that will show is INSIDE the Bed.....'Cuz as u noticed, it's gonna be kinda tough to see anything UNDER the truck!

hey Mike its been a while since ive gotten the chance to holler at you, hope alls well with ya. truck Looks GREAT!!!, keep chopping away at it and you'll be driving it before you know it, and NO your right there's no such thing as to low!!!

[mike68merc]

Hey Tim! Great to hear from ya. Hope You & Yours are all well also. Thanks for the encouragement. The Truck's progress has been slow but steady lately. Trying to nickel & dime it over the finish line. It's still gonna be a while, but I must admit I'm getting kinda excited! & I'm likin' the way the old P.O.S is coming out.

....Yeah, whadda they say?...."If it's too low, you're TOO OLD! .....(I just hope I can get it out of my DRIVEWAY!!)

Pearl posted some pics of your '68...Looking pretty HOT!! ...While I've been slackin', you've been wrenchin'!
Keep in touch buddy & good luck in school!
