Well done! I would love to know your suspension set up and confirm the front and rear wheel size with offsets.
Thanks Hall

Re: truck i bought off "junkyardjohn" almost done
Hey guys been busy havnt been on the site or checked the msgs for a while sorry..i can deffinatly build some more fuel cells, pm me and let me know how you want it and there ya go..as for price with not taking hours or anything i have a couple hundred bucks into it, completly done tho straps, sending unit,gas cap etc took a day start to finish mounted aswell.can be any color was going to anodise mine black can paint or powder coat to.if anyone is interested just pm me dont want to bend any rules on the board..not here to make a killing but if ya need a nice fuel cell sure...as for the ignition i totally forgot about showin some pics its pretty basic i shaved the dash so it sits on a billet hinge underneath and swings down when ya wanna fire it. kinda like a bracket for sterring colums in rods etc if you can picture it.makes for a clean look when sittin parked thats all.i will have to get some picks on here again..i mounted all the air ride and rad wiring its all done now except for exhaust being on and driveshaft and guages so il shoot for this week for the pics,maybe a video of the fire up to, take care rob...

Re: truck i bought off "junkyardjohn" almost done
Definitely interested in a fuel cell, as well as the trailing arms if you are still considering those, Just shortened my frame last weekend so starting the rebuild now.
Will let you know when I will be up your way for some golf this year, still would like to get together and see your truck. Thanks Larry |

Re: truck i bought off "junkyardjohn" almost done
I, too, will be in Kelowna this summer, and hopefully wheelin' my '72 'burb, if I can afford a new motor before then.
We'll have to hook up, 'cause I NEED to see that beast in person. Any info on your rear control arms, yet? I may be interested, especially if you are making them for easy set up on air ride. Check your PM's

Re: truck i bought off "junkyardjohn" almost done
Nice toolbox, but who's Taurus is behind it? Or the F-150? I demand the truth, you can not have a cool chevy truck and drive a Taurus. I'll give you my address to transfer custody of your pickup.
