Yah, probably never seen any salt and garage kept. I don’t remember if they told us the mileage or not but I bet it’s low.

Before I went into the service came really close to buying a 1974 F-250 4x4 High boy, a great truck. Wish I would have bought it, probably still have it. Was a 390 4v with manual transmission with granny low. Had a blue and white 1988 F-150 Lariat long bed straight six.

I used to bend the I-beams to get more camber,,haha,,tells ya how old I am
@Roger-bj2zs5 ай бұрын
I had a 79, lifted the front 1 1/2 inches to make it ride level. Took a course at a trade school to learn about correcting the I -beams for geometry and we bent them as well. After I installed a healthy 460 and C6, I needed the extra lift, came with a 302 and 3 speed

These comments hurt my brain Yes, lifted 2wd trucks are very common for off road racing. This is an old school prerunner set-up. He also says in the video they are doing the rear in a few days, which is uploaded now.

Always enjoy the videos. Me personally, I don’t understand lifting a 2 wheel drive truck but to each their own, I think it would be a really cool 4 wheel drive swap. Love the body style of that truck, it will look cool, just not 4WD.

Why lift a 2wd? I could see if he was adding a transfer case and front axle but...?

Because it looks cool and that's pretty much the only reason anyone lifts classic trucks? ;) Also, because the customer wants us to, and is paying us to

@stevebeers4920 that is another video. We converted the back hangers to 4wd and installed 4wd rear leaf springs. It turned out great and is has excellent road manners. The ride is exceptional. Thanks for watching. Cheers!

@halseyknox18 күн бұрын
This mechanic and his opinions should stick to the job at hand. Putting those radius arms and I-beams on backwards on and not catching that without the sarcasm was pretty lame...properly lifting a twin I-beam is probably the easiest front suspension you can work on. Once camber and caster are properly adjusted along with king pins your set. This is old school and mechanics along with the talent are a dying breed......it's not rocket science putting one of these kits on......all it takes is a phone call to Autofab and they will listen and answer your questions or concerns....
