Fordahl Bilt's Regular Cab Short Bed Build!

FORDAHLBILT · Dec 9, 2015

decided to start a thread for my powerstroke build that I have going on, plans are to make it a streetable "race truck", gonna see a lot of track time in 2016 as well as pi$$ing off some muscle cars on the street. bought the truck brand new off the lot and heres how it sits now.

started out as a work truck
then stock with a super chip
then ts with exhaust/intake
then swamps 160s, custom tunes and built e4od
then short bed
now full out build!

truck is a 96 f250, 2wd auto.

chopped 16" out of frame, pulled together and bolted everything up like a factory short bed would be, drop hangers and shackles for rear, ruff stuff traction bars, 3.55 rear welded.

motor is getting built as we speak with all the goodies to keep it around 600-700hp.

will ad more info in truck if anyone is interested or have any questions, well heres some pics!

Question, what made you want to go with 3.55 gears?

Nice, looks like the engine is almost there.
I'm working on a single cab shorty SD myself, still up in the air on what I want to do for injectors

yeah its getting close, still a few g's short. haha

nice man yeah I love these single cab shortys, there fun.

go bigger then what you need and tune down. I went with swamps 160s at first and didn't have over 5k on them before I went bigger. its cheaper in the long run
