hope you like the pics.. the truck has a 4 inch body drop and is bagged fbss with half inch line and and 8 valve system.. 4 viair compressors and 16 gallons of air.. becuase these trucks are so light.. i have had the front end hop up and 4 inches and thatw was under 200 psi.. time for a smaller preasure switch me thinks..LOL...

here she is...

hope you like it.. and if anyone has spare parts i would love to hear from you..lol

i will take pics of it tonight.. the truck bed comes off with 4 bolts so its really easy.. its triangular 4 link bag over axle.. the front of these trucks is simple.. control arms.. cut to upper coil pocket off and install ( torsion style) upper bag mounts..

pics to come

any updates??

jbird · #8 (**permalink**) 08-10-2008, 11:33 PM

Interested in selling?

at dusk · #9 (**permalink**) 08-11-2008, 11:33 PM

the head is here, gasket is in.. now i have a couple options.. get a custom rad built to fit between the frame rails or relocate the frame rails down 4 inches and run a stock rad... stock rad is cheap ad effecient custom rad would be brass and bad *** lookin..LOL

as for selling.. im not entirely sure.. i guess if i got the right offer.. i have found my next project truck and it arives on friday.. a 61 fargo d100... that will be one hell of a build..

my digi camera took a crap , but i got a new one the other day so ill take pics, me and my buddy just got garage space so it will likely be a couple days.. we are moving our trucks and toos and such overe

61 Fargo, nice truck... I had a 68 Dodge D100 4x4 with the 318, a few years back great truck, awesome motor.. This thing would go anywhere, and climb just about anything, the bottom end torque was incredible..

I bought it for $1000, fix it up a bit, and sold it for alot more.

I aint a fan of low riders, but man oh man, your Mazda is sick.. Nice job.

sorry guys.. dont have any pics.. but i did get the new rad in.. and im modifying the crossmebers to be able to run the exhuast through them so it can lay lower.. every 1/4 inch counts

ill have pics likely before the end of the weekend....

any updates on this sweet little collectors? i wasn't a big fan of the retro stuff before, but i think its starting to grow on me

at dusk · #15 (**permalink**) 09-20-2008, 01:06 PM

the truck sits waiting for th head to get back from the engine rebuilder.... i will head over and snap some pics..

tightened up all the air fittings.. i found a courier at a pick and pull a couple hours from here s oim going to pick up the hood and fenders....

i plan on media blasting the the bed floor and sanding down all the exterior parts... the paint colour will be like the rendition... let me know. what you think i should change or add... im also thinkin over the winter i will suicide the doors...

as for the 61 fargo.. i decided to go with a 66 i found instead.. it come with an extra cab and a lon box... my plans are like this.. make a truck that never existed... quad cab short bed... bagged and bodu dropped on 24s...

that will be the BIG project.. a couple years in the making..
