Just picked this off craigslist today. Its a 89, 275k, auto. Welded Ford 8.8 out back, stock 30 front, both with 4.56s. Lift wise its got Rustys 4.5'' coils, with 2" spacers, adj. upper and lower control arms, bastard pack made from Waggy leafs, adj. track bar, and RC shocks. It still needs some work, but the best part is all the gears, bearings, and suspension parts are ALL brand new. And I got it for $600.



The only pic I have now, but Ill get more tomorrow when the work begins

 

That sounds like a really good deal to me

 

Started to work on it today, but ran into a problem. Can I just weld the stock shock mounts from the 8.8 back on? Or do I need shorter shocks?



Also painted the grill, and a couple other random pics

 

this is now mine its just been sitting & he needed some money so i gave him more than he paid to help a friend out.

still needs some work, ordering a solid diff cover & ext. rear brake line today.

started making some hard brakelines (ugly i know, just need them to work so i can drive it the 4 blocks to my house, then im going to have some ss lines made)


some othe things it needs:
shock mounts
weld axle tubes to housing
new wheel studs
bolts for the upper link mounts
battery mount
ebrake cables
new ubolt plates
make an abs block off plate
tires
front window
figure out why the right front wheel/tire sit retartded. (most likely needs to be aligned)

 

tuesday i should have new to me wheels & tires for pretty much free kinda ugly but theyll do for now. 33x12.50x15's

 

Got some parts, hopefully I can work on it this weekend.

 

I duno why i'm even doing a build thread....

needs new rims, hate how its so wide.
