So the last owner didn’t keep the original mirrors on FORDENSTEIN so I’m in the process of figuring it out on how to buy new mirrors that could fit. I need your help. From the top bracket to the bottom bracket is 20 inches. Both of these mirrors are adjustable from below to above the 20 inches so they should fit. Let me know what your thoughts are.
I’m slowly restoring my Dad’s 1977 CJ5. That is an AMC 360 bored .030 over. I’m going through the motor good and slow. I even bought black denim to recover the seats. It’s a Renegade with the Levi’s seats package.
I just purchased my 1971 Highboy. It sadly is not a true Highboy anymore because it is no longer divorced. Built to be recovery truck / rock crawler, it has the original 4 spd with granny low and now has a 205 /303 married with Ranger underdrive. It has 3 transfer cases split shifters. It has 2 PTOs for military-grade winches. The front winch 20k and the rear is 30 k. It has a
1979 Hipo Dana 60 with disk brakes and 35 spline. The rear axel is a Chevy 14 bolt full float with disk brakes and also 35 spline. Both front and rear has 4:88
Detroit lockers. It also has 10 k hydraulic tilt bed. Hydro assist steering
New 40 in tires on Stazworks Double beadlock wheels 17 inch rims
It had a blown 428/466 stroker motor blown head gasket. I’m replacing it with a 1963 Ford FE 406 with a 4.160 bore and 428 standard crankshaft and a 4.250 stroke. It will be a 452 ci. I have a bunch of ideas of how to make it my truck. I call it FORDENSTEIN because it’s a bunch of different parts that make it a BEAST. It’s MY BEAST!!!
I recently purchased this beast with a blown FE 428. I found a 406 that I’m going to stroke and bore to make a 452 ci. I can’t wait to drive it for the first time. I love old 4x4s!
I just purchased this beast with a blown FE 428. I’m going to rebuild/stroke a 1963 FE 406 and get my new baby up and running.
Building my truck, bought it cheap with a blown engine. It is 1971 Highboy built to be recovery truck / rock crawler. It has a 4 speed with granny low. It is a 205/303 married with Ranger underdrive. There are 3 transfer cases with split shifters and 2 PTOs for the military-grade winches- front winch 20k lbs and rear winch 30 k lbs. It has a 10 k lbs hydraulic tilt bed. It has a 1979 High Pinion Dana 60 with disk brakes 35 spline. The rear axel is a Chevy 14 bolt full float with disk brakes 35 spline. It had Detroit lockers front and rear 4:88s. It had hydro assist steering and 40 inch tires on Stazworks Double beadlock wheels 17 inch rims. I can’t wait to get the engine built and start driving it.
