Dropping A '66 Ford F100's Twin I-Beam Suspension All The Way Around - Trucks! S2, E5

We're dropping a '66 Ford F100's twin I-beam suspension 3". Then we take a look at a Mercedes-Benz that could be deployed just about anywhere - the Unimog. Finally, we show you where to find some extra horsepower if you need it.

[@Newoldskooler]

It doesn't look lowered 🤔

[@CJColvin]

Man thats one beautiful 66 F100 guys, love that red color.

The tech tips are always good!

My favorite part of my Sundays

[@markbranum5223]

I saw this episode when you made it, fun to see it again.

[@GrenadeMotorsports]

Holy blast from the past!

[@merc-ni7hy]

i'm all for the disc brake set up on the 66...but not dropping it...looked better in stock form

[@Pendaws]

Very cool work there guys :)

[@tomhamilton9140]

Suit and ties working on trucks 🤔 thank you for some Ford stuff.

[@MrAnaheimification]

Arnt those DJM beams hollow tubing while the originals are forged steel? I believe I’ve seen pictures of those failing

[@insertgoodname4809]

I don't think Mel knew too much about cars but it was nice to see Stacy with a friend.

[@Ironwind1972]

I'm curious, how does this affect towing capacity?

[@jlwz71]

Tape off the whole block before painting.

[@bmstylee]

That Moggy is really cool.

[@WildBillFlysRC]

Yo Bill! :-) lol

[@bmstylee]

@@WildBillFlysRC Bill. Is it really you?

[@WildBillFlysRC]

65 doesn't have a coil spring retainer on top, it has a J hook that holds the Twin I Beam up. and the King bolts are different in 65, the pinch bolt is not in the same location as 66 and up. I have done this swap a few times... my 65 has a Dakota weld in crossmember from Industrial chassis. much lower and Rack and Pinion steering.

if I ever win the lotto this is on my list of vehicles to own

[@grantbrock5396]

I have 57 F100 2wd. Solid l beam with king pins. Is there a kit to rebuild & lower this?

[@billstevens6964]

Check out Nostalgia Sids out of Guthrie Oklahoma

[@coolbreeze5561]

You didn't show how fun it is to get the king pin out LoL.

[@MM-rr1kp]

i want that unimog

[@margaritaduranlarreal3291]

Este tipo de vídeos son muy utiles para muchos que nos gusta la mecanica y asi poder reparar nuestra Pick Up nosotros mismo. Lo mejor es ver a expertos haciendo y despues lo podemos hacer sin sorpresas. Ahora una sugerencia es que antes de hacer el video es: hacer un buen lavado y ducha al chassis.

[@levvy001]

Would definitely like to know what size those wheels were

[@Mr.EeToMyself]

5 x 5 1/2" lugs. Not easy to find.

[@levvy001]

@@Mr.EeToMyself if you need any let me know.. i was actually referring to wheel size not bolt pattern... I ended up getting 17s for my old ride.

[@maxxfargo4282]

Excuse me which ways backwards

[@JohnnyRebKy]

Original stance looked much better!

[@leddygee1896]

This has gotta be at least 20 years ago...

[@tttrphd]

Its not a legit car show without a stadium gravelly voice telling me what on todays show

[@vandalsr1959]

Why do you always have to lower stuff

[@corysexton3970]

I'm sorry about those shocks look like Barbie Jeep shocks 😂 I seem better ones on a Honda LOL LOL LOL

[@tcreed6641]

Actually looks gd my bad...

[@jerrystennes5734]

Wanna drop my 66

[@maxxfargo4282]

G how light in 2002 silverado ext

[@tcreed6641]

Lower those old trucks just doesn't look right , 🤣🤣

[@bobhilly546312156332]

And now the drop beam are 1300 bucks. New I should have been working instead of being 3 back in the day

[@blairbreland1443]

Nothing ruins a truck more than lowering it.

[@LetsGoBrandon-FJB]

Amen ! ! !

[@carguy3028]

@@LetsGoBrandon-FJB If your talking a work truck then maybe, but for a classic street truck I think they are better lowered, they handle better and look better. Lets be honest who's really using a classic truck for work. If it's a 4x4 then raise it but if not lower it.

[@LetsGoBrandon-FJB]

@@carguy3028 trucks were made to sit high, work hard and get dirty. if you want to sit low and look pretty then buy a sports car.

[@alanrlocklear]

Depends on what make of truck it is. Some look better lowered than others.

[@alanrlocklear]

@@LetsGoBrandon-FJB if you're gonna lift a truck so high, you need a step ladder to get to the step bar to get into the truck; you're definitely compensating for something.

[@ungurdani8346]

Salut my friend super car super video subscribe subscribe ....

[@maxxfargo4282]

Gasser truck lol

[@ryanwyrick6947]

you're doing the one thing that I consider a deal breaker... This truck is perfect and you destroyed it for looks and only the looks some people like... I'd walk right past this after glancing under the hood but definitely looking at the motor knowing I'm wasting your time... Serious... I'm just one guy but there's a million like me. No disrespect well not a bunch anyway.. I mean you are disrespecting an entire era of work trucks.

[@LetsGoBrandon-FJB]

more ford junk 👎
