My name is Clayton Rodelander and I am 13 years old. I am building my first truck with my dad. It is a 1978 ford F150 4x4 custom. It currently has a 351m, c6 transmission, and a np205 transfer case. We plan to rebuild the 351 to a 400, install a zf 5 speed transmission and maybe a Borg Warner 1356. Haven't settled on that yet. We opted to install a Ford 8.8 in the rear over the 9" cause of availability. We installed 4.10 gears along with a rebuilt and tightened up traclok for added traction. Next will be the Dana 44 up front. It will get Spicer axle joints, warn lockouts, and a locker of some sort. An AMS clutch, new Spicer u joints and all new brake and fuel line are currently in process. Cab corners, floor pans, and pedals are all on the list to be done this year. I would like to install Hooker fenderwell headers and dual exhaust. A 3" lift kit and 35x12.50x15 BFG Mud Terrains will round out the truck.
