Fordmuscle Ranchero Tube Chassis Project

Rear Chassis Construction-

Today we really got alot accomplished. Long day, but very productive! With having the rear section started, we went ahead and moved towards the rear of the truck first. I notched the remaining stock frame rails where the bumper brackets mounted to, for the cross tube that will support the rear of the truck.

We got the second level of the rear section started. We then ran the rear tubes to intersect the rear cross tube.

The top of the second level of the rear section and the wheel tubs will be a little over and inch under the Tonneau cover. I’m 5’9″ tall and the edge of the bed is below my waist at ride height! She’s low!

We also got the Funny Car section started.

Pete and I are very pleased with the way it is coming together. That’s saying alot, because we are our own worst critics. ” Quality is Job One”!
