the truck overhaul of my 85 ford

[Brianedwardss]

Thanks for taking the time to keep us updated on your build, it's nice to see one of these old trucks come back to life with such detail and care taken.

BTW sweet choice of colors for the engine, that ought'a look nice under the hood

Incredible. I love working with clean engine bays and engines. I do understand that things have just been redone, but it looks great! You certainly take pride in your work. I bet you can't wait to have that running down the road!

Time to get Air Ride seats!

The bright side to a truck that has a harder ride, is that those who expect a Cadillac ride and are too finicky won't ask to borrow it. I like when a truck rides like a truck should. My 89 GMC 4x4 rides smoothly, but it doesn't get worked as had as my Fords, especially the 86 diesel.

Actually, that leaf pack almost looks like the front packs on my uncle's '89 Dodge Cummins. That thing rode like a stone boat.

believe it or not the truck actually rode really well and its no cady ride but I liked the ride.
