Re: 1968 Ford Farm truck Resurrection

And I am back again. Over the last year my life has been flipped upside down and back again. I went from running one of the largest bodyshops in the city to nothing. It has been quite the year, I have no complaints other than my home life took a bit of a toll because of it. As of a month ago I was no longer working and me and the wife decided to try and make me doing vehicles a full time gig, So out of this was born "FUL THROTTLE CONCEPTS". My new company. I am currently in the process of finding a building and everything else that goes with it. That just means i can finally focus on what I love doing and make money at it. And this is where Steve's truck comes into play. |TIME TO GET IT DONE!! I feel horrible about how this has come down and steve knows it. |But i was trying to balance too many things. I am more focused now than ever and want to make this all work. So on to some pics!

I set up the frame and the rear suspenion in the shop. started looking through all the parts that we had here for it and realized that there was quite a few missing and broke from removal of the original engine. It was cheaper for me to get another car and cut it up to replace the parts that we needed. The 68 truck here is one that a friends shop did real quick. While doing this the rear suspension still had the original 250 leaf springs and would need lots of proper mock up time and lowering kit plus shi=ocks. I phoned steve and discussed with him the possiblility of a RIDETECH rear triangulated 4 link with RQ coilovers and explained the handling and ride differences that it would make complared to this sustem. After all a person wants to be able to enjoy their ride in both style and comfort. He agreed to it and now it is on its way. We discussed several other things and came to an agreement on where to go. This truck is going to be an amazing ride everyday and go anywhere doing it in style.
