New 68 F100 Project
Hello,
I came across my 68 f100 back in oct. of last year. I decided to go all the way down to the frame with the help of a couple buddies took about a month. I then paid to have my frame sand blasted for 100. I dont think i could have picked up the sand for that price. I then blacked out the frame with por 15 I then started to rbuild the front I picked up a 3 4 drop kit by DMJ at summit raceing and new moog draglink and tie rods an a new set of moog coil springs. I just got all this installed this week well for the second time after finding out thanks to this site the the king pin bushings need to be reamed I picked up a second set and a reamer from a friend im good to go. I need to pick up shocks this week any input would be great think I need to go back stock with the front but still need to do a bit more reading up on this matter. I got a posi chunck thats 31 spline so im working on round up a set of axels for this. I got the houseing stripped down an painted with por 15 today I think this about brings us up todate with my project I will try to up load some pics also. I want to thank you all for the good info I have got from the fourm so far.
