bumps with lowered altitude!! (lots of great custom bumps!!)

I guess if you dont read thru every thread you can miss a mention...

Mine is the 70 SWB Rootbeer colored low rider mentioned somewhere back at the beginning of the thread.

My progress has been in the engine compartment. Added a Stroked 331 and EFI from a 93 Mustang. Sorting out a few sensor issues and then bolting a twin turbo setup from Incon on it...! Hoping for around 500 hp at the wheels... maybe... we'll see.

Anyhow, pics

any over pics showing off the suspension?

Mmmmm. Mmm, MMMmmm!

Lickmstickmman, I've seen pics of your truck before. It's one of my favorites. I Love the wide trim, & the Halibrands!!
It's definitely in my top 10 list. ...Very tasty!
Tell us more about your Ride.

[Lickmstickmman]

RootBeer is a 1970 F-100 SWB
Front suspension is Fatman Fab Mustang II suspension w/stock braking
Rear is just flipped axle setup using a Torino 9" w/3.50:1 Truetrac. I need to add helper airbags, it bottoms out on rough roads.
Old school weld style steel wheels for now. I will be putting 18" billet mach wheels on over the winter.

Just put the 331 stroker in and need to tune the computer for the power (probably TweecerRT)
Built C-4 w/3200 converter. Going to a built AOD as soon as I can get the parts.
Incon 600TTI twin turbo setup. Turbo setup from a Fox body mustang I had. Should be going on in the next few weeks.

Paint is a few years old with plenty small chips, so I may lay a new layer of paint this winter... same color of course! Check my Fordification photo album for more pics of the inside and outside. I also document the EFI conversion here:

yes it s in my top 10 as well. your truck was talked about a few times a wile back but nobody knew the owner to get the scoop on it.
what are the wheels and sizes on them and tires?

[03rangerxlt]

oh yeah, thats nice!

[Lickmstickmman]

I have been here a while, but mostly lurked for info while building mine. There seems to be a few of us here that take theres beyond stock, so I only hit on a few threads. This place has been a great resource for the electronic issues I have had with the fuel injection conversion.

I am working under the truck this weekend while Hurricane Danny comes thru, so I will get some pics of the suspension.

Hey Lickmstickmman, I'd like to have your engine in my truck Very nice truck!

[Lickmstickmman]

Marc, I thought you were going with a 4.6 EFI setup?

I went this way instead of a Big Block because I thought the EFI had cool factor... I am considering selling my turbo setup and going a different turbo setup for that same reason. The setup I have is so stealth, you wont even notice them there... I want something more visual! We'll see.

Yeah that RootBeer truck is Very nice.
I've been trying to keep up with this thread when I can bcuz I like it so much, but I can't recall seeing that truck before now...

Also, maybe I missed another post, but when did TD get rid of his chrome 20s?? I'm not hating on the 15s....just curious if I missed something...

Clip two coils out of the front, get the beams bent to correct, and put the axle ontop of the springs.

Heres mine, its a 71 with a 68 grille. Stock 302, t-18, 3.07 gears and a mini spool. 2 coils cut (~3'') in front and a spring-under-axle (~5'') in the rear. 205/60's in front and 235/75's in rear.
