Projects another damn project...61 uni body ford

Just found your build and read through it. You've done a heck of a job in just a short period of a time. I'm working on a 61 Uni too and I have a few questions if you don't mind. Could you give me some details on your rear set-up (like the measurements of C-notch)? And did you run parallel or triangular link? What sized tires are you running?

 

Im building an off topic 69 Chev panel truck and the barn door windows are red plexi. I wanted the door windows red too but didnt want them plexi. So where do you get red tint for glass? I had no idea you could do this.

Super build you have going there. Im going to show it to a buddy that has a similar truck.

 

I have some pics I'll try to post later.
If I remember correctly the notch was a total of 10"
I built the 2 link system in it
235/65/14
195/70/14

 

It took some time to find a supplier that was not too expensive,as most market thier tint to commercial buildings with the colors.

I found a local tint shop that had a connection and got it for me. I had to buy a whole roll,but it was reasonable. It scratches really easy. Jacks with your eyes big time also.

 

hey cooldaddy....flat black that shifter surround (!)

xoxo, you cool mutha*****

 

I love the Uni's...I'm following your build and it looks great...keep the pics coming!

 

I've got a few different ideas......
Not gonna make the round up this year,I'll miss ya.

thanks!

 

nooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

i had joel nelson, www.1320designs.com
do up a rendering for me, as you can see he kicks ass!
if you guys are in need, or have a vision for a project, joel is awesome to work with.
makes me want to finish this truck up even more.

so what do you think?

 

badass.

 

WOW!! Great rendering I love the contrast red bed and chunky flake stripe roof

so now that you have had time to live with it and drive it lets hear some about the suspension mods what do you like / dislike what would you do different and what would you do the same?

 

Thanks fellas!

The truck rides and handles so well that I don't think chassis wise I'd change much. I will be hopefully putting a 5 speed in it and then a posi 9 ".

 

The rendering looks real good of your truck. How much does something like that cost, if you don't mind me asking?

Did you get a chance to find any pictures of your rear set-up? Really interested in seeing how you did it.

 

contact joel at the link above, hes way reasonable for what you get...

i'm still on the road. so no i do not have any suspension pics with me.
i may or may not have posted some earlier in this thread?
it a basic bag on bar, 2x3 1/4 wall box tube with energy urethane bushings on one end with u bolts on the axle end, with a full length pan hard bar.

Very cool Ryno!

Have a good time at lsru!

 

killer wheel setup on it.

 

So bad ass, can't wait to see it finished!

 

On the mustang II front end did you use the 2 inch drop spindles? I hate to keep bothering you, but all the responses are appreciated.

 

Thanks man, you and me both!

Yes I am using a 2" drop splinde.
No worries on the questions,if I can help anyone I will

 

Dude, There isn't a thing I don't like about your truck! Love the flake on your center console, the whole truck is right on. Nice job!

 

right on man, thanks
where in this fine state is west plains?

 

I like what your doint on the interior...looks like a comfortable place to spend an afternoon!

 

thank you!
the mustang seats are supper comfy.

 

Awesome build. I like the use of the Mustang parts. Dad has Mustang seats in his Model A sedan too! I have a 62 uni i am about to start on. I have a question on the bed floor. what is the hump at the cab? Can you post a picture or 2 of the bed floor opened up?

 

The hump,I'm guessing is the drive shaft hoop that comes through the stock bed flooring, or where the torque box was notched and plated for drive shaft clearance in the cab.

I do not have any open floo pics handy righ now. I will post some in a few days.

Thanks for the good words!
