64 Ford F-100 Custom Cab

This is just the start.  I will add more photos as work progresses

  Here's an overview from the back

  Someone stuck a 3/4 ton rear, along with 1 ton springs and helper springs.  The springs went to a neighbor.

  Finally ready for the MII kit from Fat Man Fabrications.  The trany needs to come out for the replacement C6.

  I've got a lot of work to do on the firewall.

I thought I was ready for the MII kit, until my brother came over to do the welding.  Thought I had the metal to box the frame, well I didn't so of to blue collar to buy the metal.  Get that done then he tells me I had to take the trany, steering column, clutch linkage, emergency brake cable, and various other lines out of the way.  Needles to say I spent a considerable amount of time removing this stuff.

Well, once all the stuff was removed we started leveling the frame to prepare to box in the frame and weld in the cross member.  Once it was all level I accidentally bumped the frame, after a re-check found out it was out of level again.  I had the jack stands extended to far so the frame was a little wobbly.  Put the jack stands on blocks of wood, re-leveled the frame then my brother had to go.  So I still don't have the cross member in yet.

Here is the steering column I removed.

Here's the trany.  I have to clean it up and look at the numbers to see what it is.  I will probably get rid of it.

Here we are with the frame boxed and the center line marked.

Finally got the front end out.  Talk about hammering, even after using the torch I had to do a lot of hammering.

The front cross member is finally welded in.

Here's another picture.  I still have to have the braces welded and cut the frame for the tie rods.
