94 OBS F150 build

[jackbeaugureau]

Whats up! this is a build breakdown/intro of my obs f150 aka shirleytemplef150 haha. Bought this truck a little over a year ago, I started slowly chipping away at it, trying to get all the bugs worked out, and so far it's doing well! Just recently picked up a Giant64 kit and hoping to crank on the truck during the off season and get some bigger and miscellaneous stuff done. As far as a breakdown, Camburg +4.5" Beams and Radius Arms, Fox 14" Coilovers up front, Fox 14" bypasses in the rear with spring over, for now. Bumps on all corners, 37s, Raceline wheels, Winters shifter, and some other stuff. Learning a lot working on this truck and talking to a bunch of people. Stoked to post this thread, ill drop some photos and continue updates soon

A couple things that got done recently... Nothing major, but stuff that has needed to get done for awhile. Battery relocated to the bed finally, after a few trips my core support was tearing apart. Added 2 more amazon hood pins haha, stock hood latches were not the move. Trimmed the fenders up front and threw on some fender washers and made it more sturdy instead of using just zipties. A lot of small maintenance things to finish up before next trip. Also decided to clean up and paint the beams, radius arms, and steering since it was looking pretty faded.

Bypasses and bumps rebuilt, and bumps shortened an inch to 2.0x2.0”. Gonna get actual usable travel numbers in the rear within the next couple days. Bypasses had abt 1.25” of shock shaft showing when fully bumped out. so hoping to get It more dialed within the next week or so. Won’t be doing spring under until next season or the following.
