Thread: My panel truck build.

Tweet

Well i guess now that were back at full speed, i will start this again.

For those that missed the last thread, i will start over. I traded the merc for a 53 ford panel truck. Once home i commenced to tearing into her real Quick. There is lots of surface rust on everything ,so i thought i would do it right and take it down to the frame. I was happy to see that the truck was built right the first time, so redoing it will be a breeze!

Im down to the frame now ,and am in the process of cleaning the frame up. I have cut the subframe off, so i can lower everything without the hassles of cut springs and bad rides.My ideal goal is to get my ride height set at 6" to the running boards, that should set the frame bottom around 12" which is plenty of clearance, but it will still ride lower than stock.

Here`s the pics up to date.
