My dad and I built two trucks just like this ones on my channel this lowering method is awesome and to help the welds adhere to the thicker material try preheating it next time even a torch will work fine, love the content !
Just installed a an axle flip kit purchased online for my f100 and think i royally screwed up by welding the brackets on backwards. They came with two holes on each bracket and apparently are supposed to be mounted in the offset hole to set rear end back 3/4 inch. Now that i see you used stock 1 hole brackets im thinking i might actually be ok just using the center hole which keeps everything in the original location???
Not gonna lie. I was scared when you started this because I absolutely hate lowered trucks but this is turning out to not be horrible so I’m happy and excited about this now
While driving my '78 Econoline, I saw a real low F go the other way... the front bumper was no more than 8 inches off the ground... It hadn't been painted, kind of ratty... but cool... I hope I see it again. I am seriously considering a '94 F-150... 6 cyl, 5 speed, highway geared rear...
You good Craig just make sure we get those videos and we're happy. Also you better have made a vid about that fummins dentside that was on your Instagram a few days ago
Liking where this truck is headed. So how about the posi rear end - nice to burn 2 instead of 1 huh?!! Question - will you get an alignment to verify the trueness of the rear tracking the front? Cool truck - Chuck in NE Kansas
why did you not just swap out the whole rear axle.? if it,s from a half-ton it would bolt right in. also your boxing plates should never be square. they should have rounded corners. still a cool video.
lilorbie lilorbie the other axle had a broken banjo bolt stuck in it and I was unaware of the condition of the bearings within the axle. And for the frame I’m not done yet this was just to make the show
Just got done taking out a transmission and the fluid was metallic purple and smelled like burnt plastic guys always check you tans fluid before you buy a truck 😂
I detest a lowered truck but to each his own. As far as the content of the video it's awesome. You videos are always informative and I'm amazed at how much $ you save with your fabrication skills. You may want to check out DD Speedshop on RUclips.
Daniel FaJohn a truck for one doesnt always have to be a utility vehicle, also lowered trucks dont render themselves useless by any means if suspension is done right. All vehicles look better lowered, hell even a prius looks better low
@@mattswestone20 typical judgemental comment. I didn't say anything negative about a lowered truck. I simply stated that they are not my cup of tea. He is doing a awesome job with his truck. I prefer a Ford and not a Chevy. That's not a negative statement just my preference but Chevy owners will call me a hater.
I don't care if it's free, wrong alignment and truck is junk unless done right...something not for the faint of heart or first time welder.... so why kill the original.
The truck only keeps getting better. Excited to follow as everything unfolds
Useful info! I'll be doing a flipped axle on a '58 Chevy truck frame soon.
Great job, what kind of shocks did you use after you lowered? Thanks for all the info.

Sweet! We just c-notched our c10 over on our channel. We went bolt-in but love how you DIY-ed yours. Nice to finally see it being lowered.
Hell yeah man love it!
“Man I wonder if Craig posted the video yet” part two posted 23-seconds ago.
A little bit late but I’m a man of my word!
A tip: watch series on flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching a lot of movies recently.
@Axel Amir yup, I have been watching on flixzone for months myself =)
Sweet ride man......
Thanks for the info
This truck just keeps on getting cooler love the content An actually reminds me of a time I was in a time crunch to get ready for a big show here
TheCraig909 never disappoints with his videos... Amazing progress on the truck!!!
since you’ve gone lower, you definitely need to go wider (in wheels not body lol)
Neh them wheels need to be tucking
@@gabrielelquintero1475 Tuck'n

Hes a professional lol you wont learn till you do it Craig is one smart guy
great work dude you killed it!
How does the truck handle and ride after you did this, better or worse...
Why didn't you remove the bed? It would have been a lot easier.
more Pepper ! 🐶 good vid
Man I just wanna see this thing rip with the new gears and the track lock

Break chasis... Great idea 😂
Awesome! Great vid on how to slam your vintage FORD pickup, for cheap.
Another cheap trick is to flip your leaf spring hangers and move them higher on the rail. Fixing to do it to my 79' Dodge d100 long bed.
Looks great bro! Good work, wanting to lower my 71 soon
Very cool this bunch of videos is great love to see the younger people getting involved with cars trucks and hot roding
So knowledgeable I have to ask what your ambition is after college? Will it be automotive related?
Roger Yoder I feel like he mentioned some kind of engineering that he’s doing for school in a previous video. But I could be wrong.
Nice bro
Now it’s going to look badass and don’t worry we work with what we have the good thing is the job got done
Nice work so far, I noticed when you did the front coils there were spacers. Did you remove those?
What year did the Trac lock come out of
I'm so excited for the next video 😎😎😎
How do you have the front end lowered
I know this is a old video but what brackets and ubolts did you use to flit the rearend and did you have to use brackets for the shocks to hook up
"Dont judge my welds" dont worry I won't judge them. But the first bump you hit will.
You good Craig just make sure we get those videos and we're happy. Also you better have made a vid about that fummins dentside that was on your Instagram a few days ago

Did you bevel angle your welding surfaces mate ,me not a welder and i know that,double plate with longer plates with holes to weld in as well
I'm speechless don't know what to think about it
Nice, thanks for the idea I might do this to my c10
You do real good work. Thanks for the vid.
Truck looks so good bro, keep it up!
What's size are your tires?
Good job Craig
Ayee that lowering life makes me want to lower mine right now hahaha I'm poor and doing it the same way
Awesome video
Awesome video great job man
Which is better 3.73 or 4.10???
Hey man! Sweet truck! What size tires and rims are you running?
What you do to drop the front
That other rear axle is not a 9” it’s a 9 3/8 bigger ring gear no parts available
I like your truck's style. I've followed you on instagram for a while, just found your channel and sub'd. Got a few vids of my f100 up too.
how much extra drop could you achieve by this?
Great video 👍
Are those steelies reversed
Ram charger and power wagon were are they
Why I loved it how it was
What about the crown vic swap?
Nice video brother
Previously?🤔
Lol just realized that dangit
@@Thecraig909 ....🤪🤪🤪🤪

Prevously
Lol totally just noticed that
Thanks for the info on this economy slam me and my buddy want to do this on his 67 f100!!!!
You know with that 409 gear you'll be getting about 5-8 mi. Per gallon gas mileage without a overdrive.
Galaxy update ?
Somehow i didn’t think they was dudes like us in the democratic state of California. Anyway I like your style from south Mississippi. Keep it coming
How low is this ?!
2nd cool

Do you want to sell your extra rear end?
Just got done taking out a transmission and the fluid was metallic purple and smelled like burnt plastic guys always check you tans fluid before you buy a truck 😂

Someone told me your truck tittle becomes a salvage one ,since you cut the frame ...is that true???
First to like the video
Or you can be a normal person a just drill the rivets out 😆😆😆
You realize you just traded a 9-inch for a 9 3/8 rear? May not matter, but always do your homework. www.kevinstang.com/Ninecase.htm
