OK 1995 ford f150 5.8 4x4. "Mild" build compared to me other 1968 f250 prerunner. Using some parts I had in my inventory for future builds in king coilovers fox air bumps heims etc. Truck is going to Stock width stock body. 35" tires. Cut and turned beams 5.13 gears king 2.5 coilovers front with fox air bumps wjth 5/8" studs to match rear axle. Rear is going to have a 9in with 5.13 gears 5/8" studs that I'll swapped in that i acquired in trade to @the_fablab_ for the awesome explorer he's building thay i had for sale. Also got a 5.13 front diff from him as well in trade. At the leduc swapmeet I traded @Giant Geoff some Beard seats I had for his 4 link brackets for the rear. I will be cutting off leaf spring mounts from the rearend and getting it tabbed our for the 4 link. I'll install the 4 link AND a Bronco BW1356 manual shift t-case I have along with a Solo Motorsports VSS relocator which is required to keep the E4OD transmission shifting correctly. While it's in my shop I'll be getting the bronco driveshaft extended to fit the f-150 with the 9in rear axle along with brake lines and everything. I'll get it driving with some blocks between the axle and frame to keep it off full bump. Then I want to keep the stock bed as uncut as possible so with @the_fablab_ help and his expertise in cantilever action we will get the shocks mounted up outside the frame behind the axle.
Truck had 301k miles when I bought it from tow yard with a blown up rear end and a homemade camper that was full of trash and non perishable food. When bringing it home I unloaded it from my trailer. Took the lien sale paperwork to the dmv to get it registered in my name. I then found out it came from Georgia and never been in the Cali DMV system. So I then needed to get the weight and vin verification then smog to get it registered in my name.
Before swapping in the new used rear axle I had for it I decided to unload the truck and throw away the camper. I found the reason the rear-end was blown up, I dumped 3100 lbs from the bed and cab with the camper and all the trash in this truck. I found fliers for church camps and paperwork from churches as well. I'm assuming the guy lived in it and drove across the country because it somehow got to Cali. I found church paperwork in it from Texas, New Mexico and Cali
