1952-59 Ford Update on the Ranch Wagon

Finally finished the 4 link, and sprayed the final coat of epoxy. Here's a video of the rear in motion too.

Time to wet sand and seal. Sending her out to a local suspension shop for front end bags in next couple weeks.

 

wagon is looking great!!! i dont like air-bags being fast but yours seem way to slow IMO.......keep up the good work

 

Thanks man! Just running small compressor now. No tank or onboard compressor hooked up yet. Should be a bit faster once complete.

 

I don't know, I kind of dig the slow motion!

 

I like your wagon! the slow motion is better. Cant stand the sound of the fast air bags sound its annoying! you have some pics of the inside of your four link?

 

Wagon looks great!

 

Nice! I like the Antannea (Spelling?) holes on the rear also looks righteous.

 

Thanks guys. I'm only running 1/4 line with no solenoids so it won't go up/down instantly.

Vein. I do have pics just need to upload them. Stay tuned.

 

Daddy-0 Did you use parrallel four link with pan hard bar, or triangled four link. How big is your frame notch. Were did you mount the bags? Wagon looks wicked cool.

 

Here's a pic of the triangulated four link. Bags are mounted in front of the axle on top of lower bars. Shocks mount near stock upper location to a bracket on the axle. No frame notch as I didn't want to mess with the flat wood floor in the rear. Bump stops chopped down to about 1 inch.

 

Is that set up hard to do? What kind of welder were you using?

 

Sometimes we get so completely wrapped up in our on projects we/I fail to see all the cool stuff other guys are doing,,I do have a weak spot for the ol 2dr wagons and yours looks great. HRP
