Great work on all your metal work and metal repair.
I like the appearance of the front of your truck, while currently in primer, but showing its lines.
What 'kit' did you use for the 4-link rear suspension?
Best of luck metal working your box, Pete

4 link

The kit I used was Ridetech triangulated. The shocks came from eBay, not thrilled with them. Got the 4 link from someone that abandoned a project along with the mustang ii front end.

tailgate

I thought I was being original with my bed panels.

Guess not


using the body line to wrap around

I used extra door panels to create the tail panel

Gas filler in the center ,Led taillights and exhaust exit below

Plus, I leaned the panel forward a couple of inches. Nothing but time?

Tailgate


The new front panel was flexing. cut letters from original tailgate and reinforced. Spaced as Ford intended. Again nothing but time.

That front panel looks really cool. i don't think I have seen that done before.

Are you tucking the front bumper in the go with the new cant of the rear profile? By the way, that is a serious mod tipping that tail gate forward like that.

Getting closer to being driven. Lots of small items left to do.

Need to complete the buffing.

Exhaust installed

That thing looks great. Even an old purist like me can appreciate to style and tidiness of that ride!
