We're dropping a '66 Ford F100's twin I-beam suspension 3". Then we take a look at a Mercedes-Benz that could be deployed just about anywhere - the Unimog. Finally, we show you where to find some extra horsepower if you need it.

Este tipo de vídeos son muy utiles para muchos que nos gusta la mecanica y asi poder reparar nuestra Pick Up nosotros mismo. Lo mejor es ver a expertos haciendo y despues lo podemos hacer sin sorpresas. Ahora una sugerencia es que antes de hacer el video es: hacer un buen lavado y ducha al chassis.

I'm curious, how does this affect towing capacity?

@WildBillFlysRC 3 жыл бұрын

65 doesn't have a coil spring retainer on top, it has a J hook that holds the Twin I Beam up. and the King bolts are different in 65, the pinch bolt is not in the same location as 66 and up. I have done this swap a few times... my 65 has a Dakota weld in crossmember from Industrial chassis. much lower and Rack and Pinion steering.

@@LetsGoBrandon-FJB If your talking a work truck then maybe, but for a classic street truck I think they are better lowered, they handle better and look better. Lets be honest who's really using a classic truck for work. If it's a 4x4 then raise it but if not lower it.

you're doing the one thing that I consider a deal breaker... This truck is perfect and you destroyed it for looks and only the looks some people like... I'd walk right past this after glancing under the hood but definitely looking at the motor knowing I'm wasting your time... Serious... I'm just one guy but there's a million like me. No disrespect well not a bunch anyway.. I mean you are disrespecting an entire era of work trucks.
