Good evening Buddy White,

Now THAT is without question the most creative Bumpside transmission shifter I've yet seen. Well done--it's one of a kind!!!

Not exactly in the weeds here either but it'll do for now. I just finished a '75 dent disc swap with DJM's plus a hanger flip in the back. Thinking about a Mustang II or Crown Vic IFS and a 4-link coil over rear maybe someday.

Hey- Alot of nice looking rides here. I was wondering if anyone here has any knowledge or where to get some info on lowering a F350. I have a '69 crew long bed that I am wanting to lower a couple inches and probably convert the lug pattern. The rear springs and axle should not be too big of a problem....looking for some tips on the front. Thanks for the info! :fr:

Anyone here have any ideas on lowering an f-250 8 lug. I need to retain the 8 lug so I can run my dually wheels. Open to any and all ideas.

Djm does not offer dream beams for the 1970 f250. I talked to Fatman fabrications today and they don't offer a kit that uses a spindle that supports an 8 lug hub.

The rear I am not worried about. It is pretty cut and dry. Front has plagued me for months. I am at the point of grafting a chevy front suspension so I can get the factory one ton set up and lower it with bags and spindles. Seems a little dramatic though.

Lookin' sharp! :thup: You have great taste! I never noticed your exhaust before...mine is similar. Did you use DJM's or just a mild spring cut?
