Hello all. Just thought I'd share the before and after pics of my '69 as I just finished one of the last things I've been wanting to do for a while. I finally got around to swapping in my DJM beams and upgrading to discs in the front along with flipping the hangers in the back. As far as outward appearance goes, I think I'm about done...at least until my '56 is done and then perhaps I'll go through my bump again with a little more detail and make it 'nice'. I sure am falling for this old truck! It's been a lot of fun to work on and drive! The first photo was taken just before sunset on the night I brought it home and the second was taken two days ago after I got it back on all fours.
The next item up for change is the 390/C6 that will be replaced with another fresh and rebuilt 390/C6 combo. I've got cores and brand new kits for both but the C6 will come first until I have the funds for the 390 machine work!

Your truck is looking really good Pat. We need to do a meet n greet here in Idaho so we can all meet.

Why is it that the trucks are always the best running vehicles in the family?
Ford means "found on road daily"
70 F100 Custom-352 w/68 Highboy 4x4 frame. My play/project truck
70 F250 Explorer-390/C6 auto. My work truck
04 Mitsubishi montero-family car
Thanks Troy! And, I agree...we should! I'll be bombin' around very soon I hope (still need to install all of the new brake lines)! I should be going to many of the local rod runs at the Sonics, Walmarts, etc. and hopefully a few larger shows. I have yet to drive it with its new stance!
