Thanks for the video, it helps a lot to watch someone actually do it other than just reading about how to install windows. I will be installing new windows in my 51 Ford F-1 in the near future. This helped for sure.
No videos of it.I boxed the frame rails and then set it back as far as I could.Made some mounts from 3/16 plate while it was hanging from the hoist.Had to use the f body oil pan since It's got the mustang 2 suspension.Also gonna need block hugger headers.
It looks AWESOME! I'm looking into a 49 F2 right now. I'm a Chevy guy, but I'm getting a good deal on it. And I would like to go like you're going. That old patina road race, track style truck. Love your truck it's awesome!! "Inspiration is needed to continue on". Thanks buddy.
Thanks.I'm more of a Chevy guy too but I think these older Ford's were some of the best looking body styles.Pull the trigger on that 49 man.Once you start making progress on it you'll be glad you did.
@@therustyroller3049 street maybe a rat not sure the place has my 34 international pu way to kool plus many other deliveries ford chevy etc. All with excellent metal. Probably 1 with ls supercharged . Just something to roll around being different.
Couple questions. What front suspension and what oil pan. Ive got a 50 with a M2 front suspension and my oil pan is going to be below the rack and pinion.
When I worked at a dealership back in 1970s there was a guy that use this technique replace window he used clothes line rope I don't know if you can get that stuff anymore
Initially I had one on Edna that was a piece of channel welded to the frame. I eventually went with a stock chrome bumper and cut out the old one. Also went with the bumper tuck brackets to keep it close to the frame. I have a video on my channel about it. Great 48 you got there! Edna is a 50
Thanks.Yeah I kinda just slapped it together and didn't put much thought into it.I'll probably end up doing something different with it later down the road.
Sick truck buddy, I was blessed enough to have had a 48 too.. I went alittle different rough with mine.. but made good money on and everyone enjoyed it.
I agree... I'm working on a 64 step side now, 7inch of body drop down on a 99 crown vic classie.. I didn't start it I picked it up after the body wax set on the frame.. buy it will turn out nice for what it is..
I have a '49 KB2 all restored. Its a fun truck and gets a lot of looks. Only draw back to it is how slow it is. 40-45mph is where it's most comfortable. So at the very least doing a rear end swap would be advisable. I know a guy who has TT loads of parts for these trucks. He's in Missouri. Message me back if your interested in his contact info. I look forward to more episodes. I know you will get 'er running. These green diamonds were virtually indestructible! I won't take much to revive it!
Thanks for watching.I decided to do a chassis swap with a 91 Dakota so I'm not going any farther with the original engine.The video after this is where I tear apart the Dakota, check it out.Yeah that contact info would be great.Dont know how to pm through RU-vid.
@therustyroller3049 they always demand more. Good employees are hard to find these days lol. If it wasn't my brothers truck that passed I would but he was one of those true blue Ford nuts so I'm going to keep it ford and just work on it all the time!
My dad and I just pulled a 48 kb2 from is 65 year parking spot. We’re going to be swapping it to a 96 dakota chassis. It was also the first time my daughter went to the farm with us willingly. The Dakota frame sits high in the back. We looked at a Crown Vic front suspension and explorer 8.8 rearend on the original frame as another option. I’m excited to see more.
That's awesome.I've heard of guys doing the crown Vic front end but I figured I'd just do everything in one big package deal with the Dakota.No worries about driveshaft or anything else lining up.Let me know how yours goes.Thanks for watching.
