wow man this thing is gonna be sick

fiveinchbodydrop · 11-12-2007, 05:19 PM

well got the notches put in , just need to cut the centers out. i gotta head to my boy keith's now.

damn these are big. this frame as no kickup at all and a 29.5in tall tire along with a near 4in rear axle= big!

JollyRojer · 11-12-2007, 05:29 PM

progress is lookin real good man

MGSDime97 · 11-12-2007, 10:21 PM

I have a 69 f100 im working on now, mostly bodywork like floorboards, hood, rockers, and what not. It will be bagged before its done. It was given to me by my neighbor, he saw what i did with a s10 and he wanted his f100 to go to someone who would fix it back up.

2 LayLo · 11-13-2007, 01:50 AM

Looking good

5.74x4 · 11-13-2007, 08:34 AM

looks good, cant wait to see the body back on it.

davidcombs · 11-21-2007, 02:25 PM

any updates on this beast?

dave

fiveinchbodydrop · 11-21-2007, 05:10 PM

very little update.
ive been building a 10x10 shed beside my shop (finished). needed to clear out some of my crap fillin up my shop! i got the frame/ rearend cleaned and ready for the four link, got the readend put back together with the bolt pattern changed, and got my tires for the 22's. also ordered my brake booster/ cyl....that was my x-mas gift from my ol lady

thanksgiving will mess me up for the rest of this week, but im hoping to have it linked and rollin next week

2 LayLo · 11-21-2007, 09:00 PM

You think you could narrow a rear end ?

fiveinchbodydrop · 11-21-2007, 09:13 PM

i could do the housing man, but not the shafts. have to have em cut/ re splined... your courier need it?

what about a ol yota rear. the really old ones like 74 or so.

2 LayLo · 11-21-2007, 09:45 PM

Yeah i need the courier cut down when my wheels come in...the housing would be fine as i know ima have to get the axles...i think mouser (sp) are good ones or something...im trying to save some cash on doing it...its a 6 lug truck and i wanna keep it at that because usually 6 lugged trucks change over...and my wheels are 6 lugged lol.

fiveinchbodydrop · 11-21-2007, 10:44 PM

if the space is there(fpr the 6 lugs) i can get my dad to change the lug pattern on the ota axles... we just changed mine, you gotta pull the axles but its not that bad. hes got a machine at work that does it. i think that would be your cheapest bet honestly. i picked up mine for like 50 bux and its crazy narrow. im sure i can get him to step off the holes pretty cheap too

Twisted Minis · 11-22-2007, 12:46 AM

Just for reference, the 73-78 Toyota axles are 53" wide. The pre-85 Mazda and Courier axles are 54.5" wide. You're not saving much room.

If you get it narrowed, call Moser. They are the best, fastest, and most fairly prices since they do more business than the rest. A set will run you between $400 and $700 shipped.

fiveinchbodydrop · 11-22-2007, 06:23 AM

well damn...i figured the courier rear was wider than that.

s10fan2000 · 11-22-2007, 11:06 PM

keep up the good work man. cant wait to see this thing laying out.

93blazer4dr · 11-23-2007, 03:43 AM

fiveinchbodydrop · 11-25-2007, 07:38 AM
