I am looking for a drop axile, and wheel setup for my 1955 F 100, I was just wondering if anyone has any pictures and information or has made this swap.

I did a 3" dropped axle on a '56 . I got it from Mid-Fifty .. Make sure you get the spring perch wedges. Do your axle first and then try different wheel tire combinations to get you look. .......Dude

I got an original axle stretched 3" from Dave Mann @roadsters.com; nothing special to install since it's stock just need tie rod extenders. TCI lowered leafs on the rear Torque Thrusts all the way around.

A 53 f 100 frame, sorry I couldn't resist the temptation. I believe No Limit Engineering made ones.
