Got a wild hair and took the bed off The beginning of Dec.

Bought a bunch of parts and started fabbing.

heres the list....

Broader performance wide ratio C-6 with roller bearings in place of the Np435, Nwf np203 doubler and rebuilt 203 range box, Off road design Triple stick shifters, long spline 1350 cv front shaft with 1410 @ pinion built by me with parts from jess, Rear 1410 Shaft shortened...Modified stock tranny crossmember, Along with new doubler crossmember. Tranny cooler and fan mounted under bed, Summit racing seats and RJS harnesses, B&M shifter for tranny. 120" versus old 137 wheelbase, 30 gallon fuel tank, hacked frame and relocated ladder bar, lost doors and a few other things im sure im forgetting


Looks like i will make the ride this friday at grayrock...

I will have the seats and harnesses mounted RIGHT when i bend up a cage here in the near future....for now they use all the stock seatbelt mounting holes and seat mounting holes.

Also i want to do a 4 link Next....for now im hoping a can take a few leaves out for the ride friday

I think im going to leave the tranny floorpan out for now so it can be my heater...

All thats left is rear shocks and the tranny temp gauge

Keep the pics coming!

nice mang

nice.. now we both got longggg front d-shaft short rear.

sweet truck... or what's left.

i like it! you dont see enough ford buildups.

took me half an hour to get it out of the barn tomoght...had the tires aired down all the way and it didnt want to roll back it just kind of flopped sideways. So i used a floor jack in the rear and 2 psi upfront and it finally rolled out.



drove it to the gas station tonight and around the yard/driveway. It definitly kicks ass....Im going to the february frenzy ride this weekend at grayrock in Alabama to try her out! The tranny floor pan is definitly staying off while its cold as balls
...it puts out a massive amount of heat!!!

thanks for the compliments guys,,,anyone have some suggestions/comments? I know it aint much of a buildup, but the ford forum is slow so i figured id post up....theres more in the future but i got it together to make this ride...cause thays what we do this for aint it?

btw...hooked up my tranny tewmp gauge tonight from autozone(actually just an oil temp gauge) and it immediatly read 230 degrees while it was cold. Double check all my connections and ground etc and couldnt find anything wrong. Anyone see a probelm using an oil/water temp gauge for a trannyy temp? It uses a sending unit btw.

anyone know off the top of their head what the adjustments on the vaccum modulator on the tranny does? I cant remember if turning the screw in or out lowers the shift rpms

Multi....I love my driveshafts now....that was part of the reason for th edoubler....my front driveshaft has never been anything but a problem with being so short and steep, kept seperating dlip yokes and binding joints at the pinion....hopefully thats all done with now

very sexy

that is a saweet buildup. love the truck. im doing a similar build with my 78 swb. but a little bigger. with rocks and 52 michelins

heres one more i found

http://photos-123.ak.facebook.com/ip002/v67/150/0/7005341/n7005341_33157123_8779.jpg

Man I love the build up...Looks great...

Nice pics, looks like as you took more pics, it seems you cleaned off the lens of the camera and got better pics :flipoff2:

sounds sick man.. are you going to pics when you go out wheelin?

Looks great, I've been a fan of your truck for a long time now and it's only getting better :smokin:

Nice pics, looks like as you took more pics, it seems you cleaned off the lens of the camera and got better pics :flipoff2:


nothing like a kodak dig camera i bought off ebay for 65 bucks in 2003, uses AA batteries and has an 8 mb mem. card:D :smokin:


thanks for the compliments yall....i guess i got to go out in the rain and tweak on the modulator valve on the tranny to lower the shift points some....

I went up to summit today on my lunch break and got an autometer tranny temp gauge for 42 bucks....looks like im takin the 44 dollar pos autozone gauge back


There will definitly be pics from the ride probably video too....and with my girlfriend's 5 megapixel camera that can take more than 8 pictures at a time:D

Damn, you HAVE been making some changes. Looks nothing like the last time I saw it. I'm digging what you've done, keep it coming :smokin:

GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTTT TTTTTTTTTT--RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR--DDDDDDDDDDDDDOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEE

:smokin: :D :flipoff2:

-cutts-

Im ready for the ride, everything is packed, tweaked and ready to go...i cant fuckin wait


your bronco is gonna kick ass on its maiden voyage cutts

you done anything to your junk lately pro?

Just welded up a new exhaust, yanked out the old bench seat and am using airide bucket seats out of a kenworth, and nitrous :smokin:

onboard air?

Nitrous? :)

onboard air?

All I have right now is a small electric compressor from a caddy's air supsension. It would run the old sparten airhorn and KW seats, but I'm not going to hook the seats up, I don't need them to go up and down. They were the ones out of my eb, which I replaced with some Procar Elite buckets.

Nitrous? :)

I found myself missing not having laughing gas anymore :D Being lazy and instead of doing it right with direct port I'm just using a zex perimeter plate.

But enough of the thread hijack, back to the sexy fullsize build that this threads about :smokin:

so in other words ivan wanted his nitrous back :)

and nitrous :smokin:
VIDEO:smokin: :eek:

ill have some more pics soon, all i have is a few.....

my girlfriend rode with me most of the time so i only have a few....the guys in our group got some great pics and vids

the rig was flawless and worked awesome, i love the auto....very well built, stayed below 180*...doubler was definitly worth it...the 120" wheelbase, no doors and seats is where its at...

im hoping i have some pics from buzzards roost, that was my fav trail..that and bents n dents

heres a few of me and some of the guys i rode with saturday

Wayyyyyy too many toyota pics in that photo album for a ford thread!:D

Truck looks awesome.

Looks awesome man! Glad to hear its maiden voyage went well. Now lets see that vid!

Beaut!

Good work!

those are 44's?


yup at 7 psi....but after driving by that bugggy with 54 boggers there, they definitly seem tiny to me too

sorry for the massive pics

this is buzzards roost

many pics and vids to come at some point

Hells yeah man! Glad to see someone is having fun with their rigs! I love how badass that thing turned out, not that it wasn't badass to begin with.

I am going to have to plan a lil vacation down to meet you guys this summer when there is some wheeling to be done.

Your truck is bad dude, i love that bed. Whered you get that fuel tank, its sweet. Also is that a fan underneath the bed? Cooler of somesort?? One more thing, on your ladder bar I thought that the shackle shud pivot from the bottom so when the pinion goes to pull up it pulls against it, not pushing on it where it could move. I might be wrong if that made any sense, haha.

idealy you want the shackle for a ladder bar in tension....thats how mine was before i moved the axle foward, but i would have to redo the whole setup to keep it that way..it worked just fine in compression...i dont plan to keep the rear leaves too much longer anyways

fan is for my tranny cooler

tank is off a refridgeration truck, i wirre wheeled it and painted it and cleaned the inside out...it was free and its 30 gallons....
thanks for the compliments
i think shes ugly as hell, heh

What is your wheelbase at, and how do you like it? This is kinda how I'm picturing my 67. Nice Job BTW!

shes sexy as hell, heh

corrected for accuracy :D

corrected for accuracy :D


:smokin:

120"....and it works awesome.....compared to the old 137 or so

i love the breakover angle and the steeper/shorter rear shaft because i dont have to worry about dragging it into ledges/rocks

haha thanks Seth..I still think its ugly....it just seems to be missing something....

Wondering what the measurements on your diveshafts are? Front vs rear. I am wanting to go the doubler route as well and want to carry one spare. Just checking to see how close yours are.
Thanks

havent bothered to measure the front, but the rear is 46.5" from center to cetner of the caps

didnt bother to measure the front because it has the high angle flange on the t-case and a 1350 cv so they aint interchangable

im running the short c6 adapter as well

I still think its ugly....it just seems to be missing something....

Thats easy man, it needs a roots style blower sticking out of the hood :smokin:

i like that idea

and more cubes....


right now i think i need a cage...

heres a vid of bents and dents at grayrock...

thanks to john deere ranger on here
