new project fresh out of the box i started last night... using the 4x4 front axle and hardware from model kings re-issued 1979 Ford 4x4 pickup. Except i will be turning this 1992-6 body stlye in a F250 4x4 I added risers to the cowl springs to get the height i wanted..... Added riser blocks in the rear also........ The front shocks i scratch built this morning..........nothing fancy just something simple....... Sorry about the Camera, its new and i am still learning it.........      |

I started off with two wagon wheel's (from fire fighter dodge 4x4) drilled out the center cap then using a #11 blade i popped off the original molded in lugs, Using a spot sanding pin i cleaned the area up,then drilled at the bottom of each spokes (8 holes) then added plastic rod. I found one more wagon wheel in the tire box,then had to grabbed the fourth out of the warlock kit.then i had enough for this project. The 4x4 hubs i drilled the back out of the chrome reverse wheels from a boondocker blazer (72) kit. and popped out when i had em thin enough. I still need to make another hub for the back wheels with this being a 3/4 wheel, it will be a axle hub.      |
