That's a great mod that is fairly simple and cheap to do, this was done a lot in the 90s and early 2000s minitruckin scene. Oh a good way to lower your truck is a 3" drop I-beam from DJM or chassis tech and for the rear a 4" drop hanger (cheap) or drop leaf springs (pricey). Either way should give you a nice raked look.

I think you should take the tank and put them in and bottom on the truck where the bed is cut a little hole out for the gas tank and then you can fill it up in there and then you can use the whole bed for whatever stuff you're going to need it for I think that'll be a good idea and then you can strap it down and pull it down to a gooder area where you know it be secured and then you ain't got to worry about it being in the back of the truck I think you should do it that way cuz it'll be a lot easier and then you can hide all the wiring and stuff too

I had a 1972 shortbed 4x4 ford, in the pale green color. Bought it in 2008. Nice truck. All my buddies wanted it. It had a low hp 360 motor built up to 300-310 hp. And produced a lot of torque. It did not want to stall. Idling at 750 RPM, you could have a medium load on it and release the clutch and it would jump, and then lurch forward with the timing. I had nice upholstery and a great stereo in it. Never should have sold it!!!. Ill get another. Don't even want the 390. The 360 suited me fine and it pulled like a mule.

Honestly, the best option for the money is a crown Vic swap. Has to be 03 and up but you probably already know that lol. We are going to do that and we are looking at police auctions. You can get retired police cars for a couple hundred bucks. Take out what you want and scrap the rest and it almost pays for itself. Plus the 8.8 rearends are strong and some are disc brakes. Just an option!

Great video of a great job! I love a 2005 regular cab, long bed Silverado. It was my Grandpa’s truck, but I still wish it was a short bed. If I had the money and ability, I’d do it myself. Make it a short bed. I’ve looked for the new bed it could use all over the internet. Long beds are hard to find as a used part. And the ones I found are pretty expensive. Almost every bed I found for sale was a short bed. Maybe the newer long bed truck is too rare now to mess with changing it? It looks like you’re getting a great job done on your Ford. Keep it up!
