Really dig these unibodies. A neighbor down the street where I grew up did one when he was 16, it had been his dad's work truck for years.

This one is looking good, you are doing a great job!

I was looking through ebay adds like 8 years ago for a short bed 2000 ford to do and came across a 62 unibody ford and was like I did not even know they were made so I thought to my self if I get an older truck that is what it will be fast forward 7 years late and I finally picked one up lol.

Thanks for the compliment.

I had an issue of the top ball joint and spinal hitting the bags in the front when 3/4 way up.So I recessed the frame and made my own frame mounted bag brackets so it lifts higher and does not rub now full up.Also made a channel for the tire rods as they hit all the way down now it will turn all the way down.

Wanted to tie in the bottom cross to the inside of the frame so I made these gussets.
