k5 wants to be a bronco...
#1
our buddy shawn moody is wanting to do something completely different...and for once-i support it lol


so we are looking for some cheap parts laying around to see if its even possible.

gonna convert the leaf spring front end to a extended radius arm/coil spring set up. so far it does seem doable, however we will have to work around the steering shaft on the k5.

if you got some coils,extended arms, frame mount for arms, radius arm caps, etc...we'll probably go with ballistic for the adj coil mounts.


let us know what you might have laying around, thanks

The 72 frame I have has extended frame mounts that I do not want. They appear to be in good shape but will need to be cut off. I also have a set of radius arms, but one is bent(again on the 72). Cut the arms and add DOM to make them extended. He owtta just buy my 77 F150?!!!!!!! But yaw can have those parts for free if you come gettem.

I have some radius arms and lower coil buckets. Have some heavy EB springs and stock track bars too. I am curious how you would run the track bar as the drag link would be in the opposite direction

we came very close to selling the k5 and trying to get a early bronco...but the buyer cant come up with cash. so for right now, i guess we will pursue the radius arm conversion.

anybody wanna buy a badass k5 on 1 tons, 4.56 /detroits/cross over steering/3/8 diff guards,H1 beadlocks/36" tires,6.2 diesel/T400/208-dependable and capable!
