For those who give a rat's azz:

Side view of the newer Ford disc 60 under the rear of the Raider. The rear is already set up on flexy Explorer springs. It is spring over, but sounds like it's too high for my liking, so we'll be bringing the spring pack under the axle. Once we do that, though, there will be a good chance contact between the axle and gas tank could happen, so I'm exploring fuel cell options. I'll post pics of the rear setup when I get them.

Here's the inside with the dash stripped in preparation for the cage install. A new sheet metal dash reminiscent of an old Land Cruiser or CJ will go in the factory dash's place. I'll be installing a Mojave heater and all new wiring harness in the vehicle. The old one is pretty much stripped.
