Thinking about a simple link rear end with just some coils and limiting straps, then something up front, maybe stick with the springs, maybe links...

Change up the lights on the flat bed a bit, clean up the headache rack and rock it at the mud bogs and maybe out in the desert...

LOL... I saw the stacks and said... SOLD. Sight unseen.

It has a 352 in it, but its a 63/64, and came with a 292. The trans that came with it, does not fit the 352 so... LOL. Oh and it was a 2wd when built... Its a Frankenstein...

I like that rear front bumper. It looks like something you would see on the front with road armor stamped on it, instead of the rear. LOL

I'm not sure what that bed is, the whole thing is built with 1/4" wall tubing, diamond plate and such... WAY overbuilt but... Going to change out the round tail lights for some ovals,remove the freighter and install a wench under there.

Mount a fuel tank on the bed, move the tool box back, redo the bed rails with some square tubing... Just clean it up.

Any chance of relocating that "rear" bumper back to the front?? BTW I did finally decide to grab my dads 78 f250.....but it'll never look like that.
