First I would convert the front suspension to leafs. The only bumper I would put on these trucks are a pointy. Everything else will be junk. I always ran a rear bumper on my trucks. i ran a 77 doba welded solid fresh no rust.... 10 min sun bitch is flat!!!!! damnitboy !!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pKPJvBmIZA

Well i'd love to get my hands on a pointy, but the chances of that around here are slim. All the scrapper boys run derby cars too and there is a lot of them so they get to them before anyone else here does. What would be the next best thing? What size tires do you guys run front and back? And whats the best way to convert the front to leafs?

How strong is a 72' ford its the dent side one like shown above. The frame is boxed between the transfer case to the front cross bar, but the front foot is c channel again. it feels solid and not a lot of rust so any input would be great . if some one wants to text me i can send a pic to post on here.

How are the 94 3/4 tons, basically want the truck for the motor, but wondering if the truck is worth the build?

I'm not sure if 94 is one of the "swiss cheese" frames or not, but if it is crush it(unless you can plate the entire frame). I wouldn't even drive one of these on the road, thats how unsafe i feel they are...look at the frame
