Re: 61 Ford unibody project
I had an issue of the top ball joint and spinal hitting the bags in the front when 3/4 way up.So I recessed the frame and made my own frame mounted bag brackets so it lifts higher and does not rub now full up.Also made a channel for the tire rods as they hit all the way down now it will turn all the way down.

Re: 61 Ford unibody project
Hey Jake! I've been following your build over on the HAMB. Always too scared to comment on that forum... Looking forward to seeing this truck finished up. The 60s f100s are really growing on me.

Yea the truck is too OT to keep adding to the tread there now so since I really like the builds and builders on this board I will keep up dating here since I have not found a good Ford site. They seam to be popping up now and since porter built has a drop member for them and Delmo is building one up also maybe there will be more intrest in them. Jake
