Hey guys, I am finally working on my '79 F250 build. Right now, the truck is up in air to have room to work on the 4-link and sub frame etc. Believe me, ride height will be MUCH lower! I want to keep it as low as possible so I will be using the aid of my sawzawll to "trim" the sheet metal for the tires. The WB will be stretched to about 152". I'm shifting the front axle forward about 12" and the rear axle back about 10" to help approach angles etc.
Here are some specs for the build:
1979 F250 Reg Cab
Ford 460 BB
NP 205 T-case
T18 Trans
2.5T Rockwells (2 fronts for 4-wheel steering)
2.25"x.375" DOM lower links
2.0"x.250" DOM upper links
Forged 2.63" Joints
Custom 4-link rockwell brackets and coil buckets
Pinion brakes (Toyota / Mazda setup)
PSC front & rear full hydraulic steering:
PSC Double Ended Rams
PSC Orbital Valve
PSC Rear Steer Joystick Valve
PSC Cooler
PSC Steering wheel quick disconnect
PSC Pump
PSC Remote Res
48"x31" Alliance terra tires on 20"x25" steel wheels
C&M Machine wheel centers
Future plans include OE 2" Shafts and Ultra Lockers
