Great job
Those spring perches are supposed to be upside down
Thats why those ears were pointed down

@@MattProfa that’s sweet
@@mikebrimm1872 thanks for watching! I need all the help I can get!
You might check the pinion angle since you rolled the front of the axle up. You may end up with a vibration or destroy u joints. Love your project and continuing to watch from Lewiston Id Clarkston Wa. valley.
@@toddsmith5591 thanks for watching Todd! That’s definitely on the list of things to do once it’s back and put together. The body shop just took it in, hopefully we see a newly painted truck in a couple months:)
Hey Matt. The key to success with POR15 is in the prep. Clean/degrease & metal prep. Some people don't prep it correctly leading to failure. If you prep it right, POR15 is good stuff. Oh, and don't POR15 anything that you want to remove later because it will make that very difficult. Nuts, bolts, housings, covers, etc.
@@jaredcowan3180 thanks for the heads up! We actually were recommended by the body shop doing the paint job to use KBS rust seal so that’s what we ended up going with in this last video
Matt, I gotta tell ya, I thought that cab transfer was gonna go bad. You and I are a lot alike. I also work alone and am in the middle of moving over the body of a 74 Super Cab onto the frame of a fully restored 79 F250 4X4. Man, I have done some sketchy stuff so I am right there with ya!! I used POR15 and have been happy but I sprayed a clear coat on it too late which resulted in the clear coat peeling off, but the POR15 is solid. I started 7/1/23 and my next step is moving the cab over and reconditioning the inner fenders and radiator support before she goes in for a Coyote. I've learned a lot and I'm happy to share if you need anything. Keep making the videos! I'm loving watching them!
@@jaredcowan3180 thanks so much for the advice! Are you just going to por15 the inner fenders? I’m working on mine right now and am debating getting a sand blaster. What do you use to strip them down?
Once you get that z barted that that friend. What kind of an engine are you gonna put it in your mouth? Just get a nice brand new. What about brand new Ford engines that they sell and put on new l? A? At LA d's inside new seats. New stereo column the works. The works
Cool
I have a 76 F-250. No one wants to work on rust repair (Raleigh, NC area) unless I drop 50K on the project. Doing what I can on my own to stay in budget. Have fun.
@@JorgeHernandez-vs8jw definitely pricey. I’ll go over all those numbers in the next video hopefully!
Nice build! Learning new things on the way is the best way will be an awesome truck when done keep on going man
Nice work it’s gonna turn out great ima be doing this soon to my 95 f150 ima make 1 truck out of two
your doing great man, stay positive. You are doing more than most. I love the update videos
I just stumbled across these videos and I appreciate watching a typical person do a job like this - great learning experience. Thank you.
I just started a 74 highboy restoration. Good info
so you just used the 2 factory (original) bottom holes and drilled 2 new uppers? TY
Yes sir, turns out I didn’t need to drill Anything
Good video that inspired me to do same thing on my f250
Lmc For Your site
Good job for saving this classic Ford not a lot of junk yards will be saving these kind of Ford specially in mind
Good stuff I'm doing similar work to my j1 bedford...nz
Hell yeah
I was just putting leaf springs in my F100, interesting way that you removed and took off the bed. The method of using an engine lift to remove an 8 ft bed is rather cumbersome, I may have to try your method next time it needs to be removed, but fingers crossed for now. Rivet removal fun stuff as well.
I never thought of using an engine lift! Truthfully I should have put a beam in with a lift when I built my shop ha you live and you learn
@@MattProfa , thats it in a nutshell live and learn while working on these old trucks, btw great shop lots of room, I only have a one car garage right now but making it work, coyote and 10r80 are installed, suspension rebuilt, and I think frame rivet removal is done for now, famous last words
@@ppeters480 Holy smokes you need to post some videos of that bad boy! id love to see what youve got going on!
Great job. I've been working on my 1972 F250 for 5 months now and I really wished I had documented the journey like you started doing.
It’s never to late to start! I’d love to follow your build!
You should put a efi kit in it
I’ve been doing a lot of reading on the holly sniper! Any experience with that?
Can't wait for the next episodes 👌
What amp do you have on those bad boys bro
Hey man sorry for the delayed response! This was years ago but it was a Hifonics, definitely not a high quality amp but certainly did a good enough job!
If you want to make a help video USE SOME LIGHT.
That's a great idea:) thanks!
I had put the 2.5 kit on my 2012 f150 ,every time I hit a pot hole the upper control arm hit the coil spring and the truck rode terrible. I removed them and installed Bilstein 5100 adjustable shocks. The truck now rides great. If you can afford it go with the bilsteins, you won’t be disappointed. I have 35/12.5/18 and trimmed a little plastic so they would fit.🇵🇱🇺🇸
I've experienced the same thing when I turn the wheels all the way and go over a bigger bump. That's great info thanks for sharing!
$400. Shit I coulda sold you one for $350. Lol. I guess your money comes easy.
You are totally right actually, i didnt know at the time but i could have easily done it for much less. I also would have used a different company as well since the oil seperator had all sorts of problems coming apart and i had to epoxy it several times.
Nice video, pretty good explanation, thanks!!
You’re a group of those annoying people who go bowling.
Vid too slow I left lol
No problem man, im not a professional youtuber haha i appreciate the feedback!
WHAT IS THE BRAND OF LEVELING KIT???
Bman H watch the video again
You mention rotating the strut 180 deg. But you didnt't show how... Can you post or explain? Thanks
Bman H pull the bolt that attaches to the a arm and make the front of the strut face the back.
What size tires did you have on there?
Peter Walker they are just the stock size 275 65r 18
you say that the spacer have 1.5 inches real measure i did get the same ones they say 2.5 and when i measure they had 1 .5 i say like whaaaaat
Yeah not alot of places tell you that the spacer is actually less but it still lifts it to the full amount advertised. thanks for the comment!
great video there are lot of videos showin the same but you say something extremely important
Does this catch can function as well as an RX (McNally)?
Im actually not sure, after owning it for a while i will say the oil seperator ended up being a peice of crap, i wouldnt buy it again.
I put a level kit on my 2014 F150 ecoboost 4x4 and the next day it started to make a metal clanking noise like i was dragging cans. Sounds like a rock scraping against the heat sheild but they couldnt find anything wrong with the truck. Obviously the level kit did something to my truck. The only way to get the noise to stop is to put it in 4 Lo, drive a bit and then put it in 2wd. But it keeps happening, any suggestions?
Sebastian Sebastian I have no idea, I’m not an experienced mechanic for sure as you can probably tell from the video. It sounds like a cv shaft issue, maybe something happened when the hub was dropped down to put the spacer in. But like I said take that for what it’s worth I’m no expert.
I had the same issue with mine I found I had broken the 4x4 hose that was making my truck kick in on 4 whew drive I got it fixed right away I didn’t want to damage the engagements
No drilling required?
Nope, it’s all just quick connectors
For the tie rod, if you hit the cast iron spindle where the tie rod is installed you will break the taper and it will come 100% easier. And you dont have to worry about damaging the 10mm hex on the edge of the stud of the ball joint of the outer tie rod. just a fyi...
Jeff Rocha that’s actually really good to know thank you!
3 hoses, a filter cap and catch can for $400 doesn't seem excessive to anyone?
yeah I give $99..........................JS*
Hell yes!
knowing what i know now it absolutly was way to much money. especially after owning it for a while, i will say the oil seperator ended up being a peice of crap, i wouldnt buy it again.
Will this work with a2016 expedition?
Larry Harris look up MAK performance and they will get you the right one for your expedition
Larry Harris American muscle. Com. Catch can 2016 eco boost complete. 329.00
I will just put this out there. I am not a mechanic or anything close to it. This is just my experience and it’s been almost a year since I did it and everything is still functioning properly. I realize I’ve probable done things differently than I was suppose to😂
Sorry due you didn't read the direction!
Guys i made this video tbh. lol jk
im always amazed how people give instructional video and have no idea what they are doing .
I have the same kit, you're supposed to put the Allen head studs through the bottom of the spacer hints the deep well holes, thats your new mounting studs, use the original nuts to fasten down the spacer to the strut and use the new nuts to fasten the new studs on the frame mount.
Andrew Westbrook could you explain this more in detail ,I have the same kit,did the guy on the video place it right or no
@@mariamatias5801 course not
Use penetrating oil . Hammer on the side of the spindle knuckle instead of the tie rod when taking out the tie rod . Same with the upper ball joint .
P4OE thanks for the pointer!!
nice I've got the same kit. I haven't gotten around to installing yet. how'd it affect driveability ? was there any difference ? Cheers dude. nice truck.
Brett Bernier thanks!! it still drives great, maybe slightly rougher but that's to be expected.
Matt Pro what do you mean by rougher ?
It is very clear that you have no experience being a mechanic. All those tools look like they've never been used too.
Joseph Foster Take care of what you have, wipe the tools down when your done. I don't claim to be a mechanic but I can do the basics
Matt Pro boom!! Exactly!!!!! Just like me, take care of my shit, instead paying a dick head to do a guess. My truck my rules my tools...
I hope you don't pay attention to these guys giving you a hard time. I am in the same boat. I am watching this because I am about to install a leveling kit for the first time. I appreciate you posting what you have for my benefit. Thanks, I picked up some useful information...thumbs up.
Kevin Lambert I’m doing the same, did you ever get yours installed? Never done anything with suspension components before but figured I could save some money and do it myself.
I like the mirrors, I never thought of doin that till now. Looks good man keep up the good work.
