[QUOTE="JayTee013, post: 1428276, member: 27265"] So not sure if I'm posting this in the right place, but I'm starting to Tear into my '96 again, Originally frame off restored about 8 years ago with a few suspension and other changes since. This was my first vehicle and was bought from my father at 188k and all rusted out when I was 16 (he bought it in '97 with 7K on it). Truck now has 270k and runs like a top. Truck has a lower mileage 7.3 that was never rebuilt (prolly 180K now), rosewood 160cc with stock fuel and HPOP, 6.0 intercooler, and a BTS trans. As part of this I'm trashing the old 5" aluminized straight pipe exhaust (already sold on CL) in favor for a Stainless 5" with muffler and going e-fuel as well a T500 Hpop. The first time I did the restoration I had it on 8 in of lift (skyjacker springs) with 40's. After a few years of banging my teeth out and some maturity I decided to go to RSK with a 5.5" sky kit and 35's. That's how it sat up until a couple weeks ago when I sold my axles and susp and picked up a 2005 5.4l F250 superduty and began the swap. I also have a set of 2008 king ranch 18" with stock size tires. This will have a 2.5" carli starter Bilstein kit when complete, with PMF 2.5" drop brackets. The donor radiu brackets where pretty rusted anyway and I don't like the castor shims and couldn't justify the PMF 3 links. Rather put the money in E fuel and Terminator, they are both long overdue. The truck as it sat 2 weeks ago: [IMG][URL=http://s1112.photobucket.com/user/JayTee013/media/IMG_3648.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1112.photobucket.com/albums/k493/JayTee013/IMG_3648.jpg[/IMG][/URL][/IMG] [ATTACH=full]169062[/ATTACH] And some old pics of the resto from years ago: [IMG][URL=http://s1112.photobucket.com/user/JayTee013/media/IMG_3742.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1112.photobucket.com/albums/k493/JayTee013/IMG_3742.jpg[/IMG][/URL][/IMG] [IMG][URL=http://s1112.photobucket.com/user/JayTee013/media/IMG_3743.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1112.photobucket.com/albums/k493/JayTee013/IMG_3743.jpg[/IMG][/URL][/IMG] [IMG][URL=http://s1112.photobucket.com/user/JayTee013/media/IMG_3744.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1112.photobucket.com/albums/k493/JayTee013/IMG_3744.jpg[/IMG][/URL][/IMG] Young me sandblasting: [ATTACH=full]169063[/ATTACH] After paint and motor install (again ~8 yrs ago): [IMG][URL=http://s1112.photobucket.com/user/JayTee013/media/IMG_3671.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1112.photobucket.com/albums/k493/JayTee013/IMG_3671.jpg[/IMG][/URL][/IMG] How she sits now in my garage: [IMG][URL=http://s1112.photobucket.com/user/JayTee013/media/IMG_3679.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1112.photobucket.com/albums/k493/JayTee013/IMG_3679.jpg[/IMG][/URL][/IMG] The old dana 60, sterling 10.25, RSK and wheels/tires on their way to new home: [IMG][URL=http://s1112.photobucket.com/user/JayTee013/media/IMG_3686.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1112.photobucket.com/albums/k493/JayTee013/IMG_3686.jpg[/IMG][/URL][/IMG] The old rear perch of the front spring ground off the frame (what a pain without torches): [IMG][URL=http://s1112.photobucket.com/user/JayTee013/media/IMG_3747.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1112.photobucket.com/albums/k493/JayTee013/IMG_3747.jpg[/IMG][/URL][/IMG] The 2005 donor, (picked her up off CL for $700): [IMG][URL=http://s1112.photobucket.com/user/JayTee013/media/IMG_3738.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1112.photobucket.com/albums/k493/JayTee013/IMG_3738.jpg[/IMG][/URL][/IMG] And the new owner of my axles was nice enough to send me a picture of them in their new home. this is 2wd Texas work truck getting some new life: [ATTACH=full]169064[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
