How do you plan on shifting this thing on the track? Got an air shifter and body set up to lock in 2nd?

 

[powerstrokedkid87]

It's got a manual valve body from fire punk that locks in 2nd and over drive is on a spe rate switch really not difficult to drive at all

Looks killer. I've been wanting to do a grille like that on my regular cab for so long.

Valve body set up for to engage band to help sprag or pulling shifter back into first?

I forget what trans is in this? Looks great, good to see it back in use!

Not sure I follow the question but there's nothing to help pull the shifter back just my hand...

Guess I could use commas

The way it's set up with the manual valve body is I would launch in first, shift second, 3rd, then over drive with the ratchet shifter

There technically is no "drive"

Looks good btw! Wheels really set it off!

yes it does

That's pretty cool. I've only ever seen one ford truck personally with a correctly done 48re swap! Good stuff

Going to any different tires?

were going to stick with the 420s for right now, we will be running hoosiers most likely next year, we really just wanna see where we are at with the truck before it gets too late in the season so we can figure out the winters plan.

You're welcome to run mine at Rudy's if you get yours to fit a 16. But sounds good!
