It is hard to tell but I'm still thinking Must. II also and that's shot of the backside. It looks like an 11" rotor kit with GM calipers and the steering rack is hidden by the A-arm, crossmember, and coil spring. Also, it looks like the lines on the frame are for the trans cooler. I do agree that those arms should be wider and have a gusset plate at the back. I wonder if they are custom made. I'm thinking that they should probably have a strut arm going back to the frame like the original stamped arm has on the Mustang if they're that narrow. Yikes!
As far as the color??? I actually kinda like it. It's definitely NOT for me but it's OK. I think it's that color changing stuff that's like a bazillion dollars a quart!

Oh yeah. The door is definitely out o' whack but there's still a little cab sag on the driver side. Look at the bump at the back of the cab and the start of the bump at the front of the bed. Also, look at the body line below the rear window and how it dives below the tonneau cover from right to left. I only bring it up because mine had the same exact problem with it before I swapped cabs (floor was rusted out too) and installed new bushings and hardware.
BTW customcrew, that is one SICK crew cab!!! I love it and wish I had one of those too! I built a stroked and bored 351W too for my '56. I had to go 0.040" so it's now a 396 small block FORD! A friend told me (Chevy guy) that I should put 396 fender emblems on my truck.

Not a chance!

Why not? Purple paint, a decal or two....

and yes, the good ole Cragar SS looks really good on these old trucks!

Maybe 30 years ago I might have tried it.

But now I'd have to change the name from White Lightening to Purple Lightening.

Just doesn't work.

why not use the torq-thrusts and save a bunch of money?

Keith,

What size are the Cragars and tires on your truck. Looks great.
