It's getting there. I've still got to paint the inside of the cab and wire it but it's getting close.
Some people are OK with JUST putting the drop axle in a 50 year old truck and calling it a day but I can't put worn out or questionable parts back...
My project. [IMG]
I went with a 4" drop axle and I can tell you from experience, it will be cheaper to put a MII in it.
My heap. [IMG]
I'm going to try to have it there. I've still got quiet a bit of work to do. I'll be there even if the truck doesn't make it though. Hope to...
Thanks, I am very happy with Sid's work.
The c-notch is not as hard as it sounds and well worth the effort. Bottoming out on every pebble in the road is not fun. This is not my truck but...
It's hard to say since i haven't driven it yet. If I were going to keep a straight axle in it, I might add anti sway bars but other than that, I...
Nope, I'm using the stock pan from a 75 lincoln. I'm using tubular engine and trans cross members from CPP. I did have to remove the original...
Thanks Andy. Something I forgot to mention, you'll have scrub line issues with the 4" drop. I had to buy a new floor jack just go get under the...
I'm running a 4" axle from Sid with one leaf removed. I'm also using a solid tie rod and 2" tie rod drops. I'm running a 460 so I'm sure that...
Sanderson has what you need.
I'm bringing a bus load!
What engine/ trans are you running? What do you have planned for the 65?
can you post the dates and times? Thanks.
So will there or will there not be a swap meet at the Fairgrounds in Feb?
Cliffy- I'd like to know how you done Tremec behind big block and kept it "low buck"?
Sorry, no pics. I just heated the steering arm where it curves back and bent it down with a large pipe wrench until the drag link was level. I...
I just wanted to update this post. I successfully got my steering arm bent to the proper angle. I first bent the whole arm down to level the...
Go to droppedaxle.com He has dropped axles for your truck. He dropped mine 4" and I love it.
What did you do to lower it?
I know this doesn't help much but I'm running a CPP crossmember and Sanderson headers on my 60 with a 460 and they fit fine. Check with...
No rear sump needed, I'm using a tubular engine crossmember and it just clears in front of the axle when it's on the bump stops. Thanks for the...
I assume it's best to just let it cool slowly?
Here's my set up: 1960 F100, Sid's 4" Drop Axle, solid tie rod, tie rod drops, one leaf removed, and a big, heavy 460. With the drop axle and the...
I don't think anybody makes dropped steering arms for these trucks, they do make tie rod drops. The CPP drop axle only drops it 2" and I don't...
I guess I shouldn't have said CPP, tube axles with billet ends would be more accurate.
I've never seen one that didn't have negative camber issues.
I'm in the middle of building a 60 and here is my set up: stock axle dropped 4" by Sid one leaf removed per side solid HD tie rod tie rod drop...
