    the damn long tube headers are gonna make the transmission Fix hard... so i decided to see what one oF doug's 38.5's looked like on there... i think that as soon as i have the 60 in the Front that i would rather have some 38.5's not 37's

    I say cut off the rest of that lip and go 39.5 IROKs!
    What's the plan for the new bumper? Tube or square? Wraparound?

    i was considering doing that rear cut already... but i havent decided For sure iF i want to do that yet... i do like the way that Front line is drawn and i think i might just cut it that way... and 39.5 IROKs do sound cool... i need to get a 60 in the Front beFore i start thinking about that though.
    the plans For the bumper are going to be tubing... i am going to incorporate the bumpers into the exocage... but this is in the Future... i am gonna wheel it without a bumper For the time being.

    It looks damn good. I say stop cutting if you are going to go with the 38s though, otherwise, i think it will look like you need bigger.

    44's are easy to find, just get one and then you can use the suspension stuff off of it when you find a 60

    You can put radius arms on any Ford 60, but a pre-86 would be better 'cause the spring perch width is 31.5". 86 and later have 36.5" wide spring perches. The narrower width would give you more room between the pumpkin and knuckle on the driver's side. James had coils on the '86 I bought from him, so I'd find a 60 first and build suspensions later.

    I don't see your tail lights surviving long without some kind of rear bumper. That corner takes one good drop on a rock and the light's toast.
