This build is nasty. What color are you going with.

rat49f6 · Sep 19, 2011

truck will remain John Deere Blitz Black with Kawasaki Green wheels and accents in the engine bay

Viking · Sep 19, 2011

I remember seeing this on a truck forum somewhere else. I like the idea of laying frame and IFS.

rat49f6 · Sep 19, 2011

its on psn, drop n drag, and street source

juniort444e · Sep 19, 2011

So your going to paint the KR rims Kawi green. Gonna look a ton better then the current rims.

rat49f6 · Sep 19, 2011

20 x 8.5 KMC rockstars in green

juniort444e · Sep 19, 2011

Ohhhhh nice. So its still going to look wayyyyyyyy better then your last ones. Do you have pics of those yet.

rat49f6 · Sep 19, 2011

I think the rockstars in that limeish green color ya got there in the pic will look awesome.

With all the bars parallel, how you going to keep the axle from moving back and forth?
I have never done a 6-link, but all the 4-links had to either have 2 at an angle or with a pan hard bar.
NICE BUILD!!!
Looks to be body dropped, if so how did you do it? Looks to have cut just the trans tunnel. How did you get the body down without cutting the floor or the frame under the cab.

i will be running a watts link to keep the axle in place side to side to much lift for a panhard bar

thanks for the kind words im trying.. ive never done anything this indepth before

the fords dont need to be body dropped to lay out on the pinch
the bottom of the pinch weld and frame are the same height
the trans tunnel is cut out to make room for the engine and trans that was lifted 3" to clear the oil pan other wise it would have hit before the frame/body

I could be way off on this and I apoligize if I am but I would assume it would have something to do with the motor being raised 3 inches in the engine bay. But could be wrong just a guess

Its a one off piece he doesn't really sell them...but might if there is intrest

You will like he watts link, they are pretty cool.
I can see what you are talking about now.
Good Luck. Dont get burned out too quick and finish the project.
I love Blitz Black, hard to get in CA with all the Yuppies but doable and great paint.

juniort444e · Sep 26, 2011

Hey bud, if you dont want this in here i will get a mod to delete it, but seen this and thought of you. So enjoy. Thats one expensive can crusher.

rat49f6 · Sep 27, 2011

That single deep dish on the rear is insane

Seen this truck and at a quick glance thought it was yours. But clearly not. Some nice details with others that i would change. How's the build coming along.
