Not sure, but to me it looks like your truck has a 1/2 drop...

I was unaware of the Ford links Srt10650 mentioned... Good info there!! I just bought new front and rear end links, measured how much needed to be removed to allow the sway bars to sit parallel to the ground, and had them modified to fit. Terrible pic but you get the idea... I was surprised at...

Not proud of this....but, drove 5hrs to purchase a 273 and transmission for a Dart project and after we loaded the engine and transmission the man asked if we wanted any thing else.... Of course, we wanted everything else! We loaded engine, transmission, heater box, steering column, leaf...

I daily drive my truck so over the years I’ve refinished my wheels twice. The first time I had a little mishap with overpowering the rear tires while leaving a red light and turning... Sliding across an intersection onto the sidewalk really does a number on the wheels... That time I had them...

I did original for a while. I’ve had it for 7yrs and I’ve slowly changed a few things along the way. Really only as things started showing wear and tear or needed replacing. I daily drive it so the latest was a full repaint. I put it back original... Maybe this pic will work the first time...

Never mind, that pic doesn’t want to show...

I know my wheels are black but you can see just after a wash the finish on the wheels and what you see on the caliper looks clean...

Brake dust is some bad stuff when it comes off your rotor at whatever temperature it reaches when it releases. I’m not sure you can get all of that off and still have any finish left on the wheel. If you do get it cleaned up good, you can use a wheel brush to run in there and quickly clean the...

PM sent for suspension pieces...

I’m still in North West TN!

Were the originals just regular oil caps?

You can kinda see them in the oil consumption thread on page one. Not sure why I can’t post pics today... https://www.vtcoa.com/threads/oil-consumption-rate.68848/
