56 f100 build Thread

[Cleandezert]

So I picked up this truck last week. Been wanting a f100 for over 10 years but never could pull the trigger. Finally decided to have some fun and do something crazy.. went to Arkansas to check it out, just happened to see ZZ Top and lynard skynard the same night and fly home. Truck was delivered a week later.

So just going to use this as my build thread, as I am having more fun with this than the offroad truck. lol

So found some issues with the leaf springs, so decided to throw a 5 link on. Didnt want to wait til thanksgiving so i had to buckle down and do it in 2 days before i left on vacation.

Ended up lowering the rear another inch over where it was, with a way better ride quality.

No pictures but i also installed a Ghost Box stereo... basically just a blue tooth receiver that is hidden in the truck so you dont see an ugly stereo.
Next up is coilovers up front and new control arms, and looking into upgrading the wheels to 18s, partially do to the fact I hate the hub caps and one ejected itself the other day and is now damaged.

Picked up some new wheels on market place. Not sure if I will keep them or not, I like the bigger wheel styling and I got these for cheap and I wanted to use them to check sizing.
