'48 Ford Rat Rod

[Granny Gold]

Very cool, I'm currently looking for an old Ford truck to do the same thing. Where about in MI do you live?

Thank everyone.

Nice work. The cab looks really clean too. However, the brackets where your three link bars bolt to the frame are not going to be strong enough. Definitely beef those up. Also the track bar should not be at an angle like that; whenever the suspension compresses your rear axle is going to steer.

Correct, and as close to parallel to the ground as possible at ride height.

I changed how I had the track bar mounted, now it runs parallel with the axle in front and is close to level at ride height. Let me know how you think it looks, it's just tacked in place for now.

So subbed!

[Oh Damn, it's Sam]

The track bar I'll have to fix, a friend of mine was telling me the same thing, so it should run parallel with the axle correct?

Thanks man. The cab is pretty clean other than the front lower corners where the fenders met the cab, that area is going to need some attention but other than that it's good. The mounts for the 3 link are all reinforced with 1/4 inch plate now so it's much stronger than in those pictures.

This looks like it's gonna be badass! Definitely in for this

Thanks!


Got some parts. Front disc brakes, along with new king pins and everything else to freshen up the front end. Plus a little preview of what my front bag brackets are going to look like.

Thanks man! I'm going to chop it and possibly section the body depending on how it looks chopped.

Awesome!

Oh man, I'm excited to see how this turns out. Gonna chop the top or leave that stock?

Terribly jealous of how easy you live-axle guys have it for mounting air suspension.

Looking forward to seeing this come together!

Thanks and yea the bag were pretty easy, front won't be too bad either considering I'm using an I-beam straight axle.

Damn this is gunna be sick

Thanks, I'll try and keep it up to expectations and I'll try and keep this thing updated
