Ok a bit of a shift in developments with this truck. Not going to be running the 17" tires as they are too light for it. My search for new front fenders kind of added to the change in direction as well. The early twin i beam trucks like this are a popular platform for prerunner and baja race trucks. I happened to remember this earlier this morning and coupled with the fact i have wanted to build a Prerunner for years...since i was a teen in fact... Well this old Ford will be going the Class 8 style build. Mild lift with raised wheel openings on the front fenders. It was either Class 8 fenders or bulged. Class 8 at least look somewhat stock which will look good with a 2" lift. keeping it mild like this will allow the truck to still be used as a truck. The camper shell will probably see some modifications in the form of a spare tire mount under the bed and a jack mount.
here is a pic of this gen of ford with the fenders i mentioned above.
More then likely will end up with a wrap around tube bumper out front. Basically shooting for a mix of play and work truck.
