Got them Mad Max looking tow hooks sandblasted this morning. Now heading home to pull off the front subframe to weld in sleeves for the bolts.
Hopefully I can get this done in a day, Good thing my order of gummies came in, I'll down a few 100mg to help with the process and make the pain manageable

Coolant pipe and custom pipe mount day
Was able to figure out what length of flex hose I need. Unfortunately I have to wait until Wednesday to finish.

I'd build some sort of bump stop to restrict their movement a bit,if you plan on driving it in the winter.Those old leafs gave me a free 3" drop
Hopefully when I put the fenders on tomorrow the wheels will be centered in the wheel well

Old leaf springs are famous for breaking in cold weather.
Looking good though Ian.

I'm putting airbags on this, . Leaf springs will pretty much be for keeping the diff in place and saves me for building a 4 link front. Which would be a major headache due to the lack of room available.

Moving my leaf springs back 1" to center my front wheels . The ******* at ford welded the front leaf spring mount to the cross member mounts .so now I got to do a bunch of fabwork. Instead of just moving a couple of bolts.

Finally back at it today, I was hoping the garage goblins would of set my front leafs springs while I was on vacation in the Philippines. 
But she's exactly how I left her.

Well I wasnt expecting this to be so expensive. 
Unfortunately for me the DT360 gear driven pump pushes out 2400psi and the F550 Hydroboost is a 1500psi system.
But this is the last step before I can start my engine

Hell yeah, I can reuse the F550 shock mounts . This just saved me a ton of work.
And this is the oil pan at full drop.
I also just got my Tracking number for that custom T-case to Eaton 6 speed adapter .
