Fixed it for ya...

I am going to have to buy new wheels and tires now cause from what I am understanding 15's will not fit the truck...But I may look into converting the truck to the older, smaller brakes if I can so i can use the 1200.00 dollar new tires I have on my 1977 F150...

And when you get in an accident and really hurt (or worse yet kill) someone the insurance company and lawyers will have a field day with that one. Do it right Logan, sell the 15's and buy something else. Looks like it will be a good truck when done.

The older brakes aren't smaller after doing some reading...It just takes 2 inches of back spacing and caliper grinding to make them fit...If I could find someone with a set of 5x135 15 inch wheels I would see what they look like...Its going to cost about 200 more for 16" wheels and tires than for 15's...I won't sell the 15's, they will stay on my 77 F150...

Awesome... I've secretly had a fantasy to build a crewcab F150 of that body style into a prerunner.... Please post pics as you go!

LOGANSTANFORTH 07-12-2010 05:49 PM

I just bought 2 used headlights, both air bags, hood hinges, hood latch, and all of the plastic substructure forward of the core support for only 350.00
