Say Goodbye To Body Roll: Suspension & Sway Bar Upgrades For The '74 F100 - Truck Tech S5, E5

The 1974 F-100 is back in the shop for its first round of upgrades. Jeremy and LT bolt on some budget suspension upgrades that will lower it 4 inches closer to the ground, then throw on some sway bars to reduce body roll.

A Crownvic front end would be a really great option for the 74 F100 as well.

[@Wayno228]

That truck was made for working not the track but still love it

[@CJColvin]

The 74 F100 still looks beautiful brother.

[@tkskagen]

Applying "Anti-Seaze" between the Bolt and Sleeve (for Suspension Components) is ALWAYS a good idea/practice!

[@richardwithrow7386]

this channel needs updated more often with newer content. great job on the old ford, but i watched this YEARS and YEARS ago.

[@bluegrassman3040]

They need to put when the show aired in the description.

[@lawrencefoster2120]

The Ford truck is a great choice for a blank to build something fun.

[@cheif10thumbs]

Back In The Day when that truck was nearly new. I went to Ford Factory Technician School. "Heat it and Beat It" was a large portion of the Chassis repair segment. Our Instructor had the nickname "Primitive Pete" his main tool set was a bucket of various size hammers and a Large OA torch and tanks on a wheeled cart. I prefer the post 1997 Ford truck technology.

That sounds like a man to make Jeremy Clarkson proud.

[@cheif10thumbs]

@@bmstylee Pretty much yeah!

[@michaelcollins7596]

I would really like to see y’all work on a 94-01 Dodge Ram 1500 2wd. All I ever see is Chevy a ford and a few jeeps and oddball stuff. Mopars get no love. I would really like to see the Dodge SS/T truck upgraded.

[@TheonlyKnoxy]

I like watching your engine builds, what exotic engines have you built and have you ever found a TVR built Speed 8?! Would love to see what you could do with that!

[@wingman5985]

It wasn't built to slalom; it was built perfectly to work and survive Mr. Majestyk.

[@martinwallingford3773]

It is an old truck enjoy it, if you want to race get a race car.

[@LetGaiaLive]

Looks good. Now the little dude can get in easily too! 😎👍

[@tcreed6641]

Nice looking truck 👍👍

[@Godsy_Garage]

SMe Truck won HERE on slicks putting 1000hp ‼️‼️🇺🇸😁

[@paulhenry5497]

I like the work you do, keep up the great work everyone involved, can't wait tell you re-do the time's in the truck.

[@1987whitez]

I enjoy watching your show but only problem just wish you do a foreign car for a change. Lot of good information .

[@LimitedGunnerGM]

Please tell me it will receive the Ford 300 that Pat Topolinski built!

[@Bobthebuilder.69]

LT has been gone from the show for a while. Must be an old episode

[@lawrencefoster2120]

Headlights"for your safety". Because other's safety wouldn't make it a priority.

[@supersevenhead]

They are anti-roll bars, not sway bars.

[@aaronbackus4548]

Same thing silly

[@supersevenhead]

@@aaronbackus4548 If you want to use 50's terminology and not describe what the part actually does.

[@aaronbackus4548]

@@supersevenhead if you want to be anal about a part that effectively does the same thing and people know about it, go ahead and be that guy.

[@supersevenhead]

@@aaronbackus4548 Gladly. And engines aren't motors.

[@RFAurora]

Too low for me.

[@JoedolfShitler]

this week on truck tech, we polish a turd.

[@raystevens687]

Look guys I've ready seen this video and 2nd off LT is no longer with you. So if your going to claim something is brand new how about show something that is new please and thank you Ray

These shows must be on the way out. First sign running old shows. Unsuscribing.

[@bmstylee]

Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Lowering a truck... Automatic dislike.
