Started out with my 2006 F150 Crew Cab short bed, with a 9" lift and some goodies inside. Well eventually I got bored from a lack of power and wanted a fresh start.
some kind of bushwacker... I dont know, but one was abosolutely destroyed on one side, after a little fiberglass work and paint, you cant even tell there was anything wrong with it.
I don't think they are Bushwacker. Bushwacker pocket flares stick out real far at the bottom unlike whats on your truck that follow the body contour. I have been looking for something like what is on your truck but haven't been able to find them. Thats why I asked.
16 inch air ride suspension updated interior, three tone paint job... Kinda making decisions as we go. Basically jus want to build a truck that gives me everything i could want or need, something i can drive at work for 9-12 hours a day. And theyre two tens
Began at 7am this morning by cutting off leaf springs
had a little patchwork to do
sanded frame with some 80 grit on a da, and shot a gloss black on it. Three very thick, heavy coats.
This truck wil never see leaf springs again
Primed helmet
Believe it or not this took me nine and a half hours just to do all that... Along with some other small things here and there. Hopefully can start selling off some of my old body panels, wheels, tires, and electronics, so I can start fabricating mounts for airbags and figure out where I can hide the compressor
it helps to have generous friends Im getting a lot of help from this project all for the sake of a few guys just wanting to help out. Cant thank them enough
Started off the day by pulling an 85 corvette into the shop, sanded it all down and then got to work on my truck!
Pulled all the front suspension out today
One month in and this is how it all sits
One month in, and this is how everything sits. Gonna by some brackets and a couple airbags next week to figure out how to mount them, gonna try to get both front and rear console finished up, hopefully dash to! We'll see what happens
bags on 4 corners, 4 link, fully adjustable. other than that im not sure yet. gonna see what we have to do as we go.
