1972 F100 TORC Stock Truck build

[Joxracing]

Its like, almost a truck!

Front end is going together for good, roof is tacked up, box is just on so we can get an idea on where to go with fuel cell, new crossmembers, etc.



Meanwhile, at the Formula 4x4 garage, we now have a freshly re-built Dana 20 T-case & installed. Shiny.

Its really starting to look like a truck now. Tonight we installed the rock shield, got drivers side door on, and halfway finished our radiator mount. The rad is out of a 90's F150.

Here's a bunch of random pics we took tonight. One thing I wish I could change is the top engine crossbar. Engine cage isnt done yet. Still need install the new coils to get correct ride height, so we can do shock mounts and a bar to the top of the coil bucket.





The box is super toasty. Its deff a one season box. If you guys are wondering, thats real rust...






This is my right hand man, Trevor LaCombe. Without him, this truck wouldnt exist. Mad fab skills on this kid.


My office for the summer. Needless to say, im a little nervous.

Update!

Bronco runs! sounds real nice, once we diagnosed some fuel & starter issues. She is loud.
Here's a kind-of-proof pic. Video to come soon.



Moved the stock truck to the Formula garage in town. Got floors cut out, boxing the frame, and Stemmy, our team body man got right on the body work.





Started rebuilding the front end with new bushings, king pins, etc. King pins gave us some hell today.



Got my quickner today (Thanks Eshall!) so hopefully gonna start getting my cockpit all set up, along with steering, and possibly starting this weekend.

Figured some of you might appreciate this picture. Here's what the yard currently looks like...



The bronco and long box are both 79's, bronco is on 1 tons and runs a built 400 with that fancy water/methanol stuff, and the long box (Stay Around Brown) has a mild build 460 on Dana 60's. Those are the rig's of the formula driver.

Looks like a fun run. Glad to see some younger people getting into racing early.

How did you guys do at Crandon?

How did you guys do at Crandon?

Neglecting this a bit. Alex took two7th's in Crandon i beileve, with nothing breaking, Which was impressive with a fresh truck. Then this weekend in Antigo, he had a 5th on Saturday, with a should have been 3rd on sunday, but he was a lapdown and passed on competition yellow, which is apparently frowned upon, so he was bumped to 5th on sunday as well.
