Maybe your issue is that the tires want to turn left.

The one big thing you are missing is if you get in a accident with slicks on your vehicle it is a automatic void on Insurance they will NOT COVER YOU OR YOUR VEHICLE!!!

I would be more worried about the factory gas tank located behind the seats in the cab. How was that ever a good idea? 🔥 Craig needs to swap to a rear race cell.

How are you driving this and not being harassed by law enforcement? Especially in California.

Usually people put wide slicks in the back and skinnies up front , just for that reason, to be able to steer correctly

Hey Craig, really good "look" on the old girl with the slicks, but take it from me, even if it gets humid,hold on, you may find yourself visiting people through their shop front, front fence, or general ditches. They won't last very long either! Great for track though. Not wanting to get you down but be careful. Cheers

What a killer stance , I just love the sound of the manual shift it reminds me of the car chase seen on the movie Bullit . Cheers

Just finished watching all your F100 build videos, It's good to see youngsters interested in the old classics, I really must get on with my '72 F100 longbed that I hope to drop a 460 into but getting parts sent to the UK is expensive and I've ground to a halt at the moment because I can;t afford a indoor workspace. keep up the good work.

Awesome video, great content!! Your video's just get better and better!! 😎

Love your videos dude. Took a trip last week from Michigan to Washington to pick up a '60 GMC 1/2 ton and I'm psyched to start working on it.

what an awesome looking truck love that nascar wheel tire setup

Best nascar looking tire for the street is the Avon CR6 ZZ and then paint some white letters on the site, if anyone wanna drive with this setup on the road :D

I started watchen this not to long ago..now I have been watching the build from start....because I just bought a 1977 ford f 150 in about as bad of shape as yours....so lots of helpful tips comming from your build up.

Can't stop admiring the look of this F100.... and I got a 2019 Roush Nitemare sitting outside. I'm considering getting a belltech 1000 SP lowering kit especially for the rear, but I'm waiting until I use up most of the time on my warranty.

I put a relay harness in my 82. Even my leds were too much for the stock switch! I’m using the same harness from lmc, worth it.

looks so badass i love it

I saw your truck and subscribed it's a badass truck

I really like your head liner

Truck is insanity ... there’s one in Brazil exactly same Ford F-1OO got built in 2007 by racer it’s immaculate same color got similar size wheels but American Racing Torque Thrust -D and super fat Mickey Thompson Indy Profile SS have coil racing all around , and 427 Cobra engine its the fastest truck on the South America, the owner name is Euclydes Milliet Aranha his truck is like this one but immaculately done and there is a video of him on KZread Racing a Maserati and hi absolutely leaves her behind , this truck in particular here is very beautiful I love how it is not restored as soon as you restore it you won’t enjoy it anymore. Good job I love your videos

When they finally do stop you you will get it for the tires and the head lights. I like the tires on the rear not so much on the front you will always have control issues

@Thecraig909 you could swap in disc from a late 70's ford truck. Basically you drop the whole front suspension from one in the junk yard and swap it into yours. There's king pin differences in the later years so it's easiest to just swap the whole thing. If you wanted a cheap disc swap, while keeping the FAT tires/Wheels.

You should take it back to the strip to try to run a faster time. I know the tires are a harder compound than drag slicks BUT it would probably be better than those Cobras you were running before.

10:27 your describing bump steer. After you replace the kingpins and get everything properly tight and it's still doing it. Look for a way to drop your tie rod to wherever they connect to the lower part of the knuckle or whatever you got on the truck. My fox has this issue even after I've done a full 95 front knuckle swap and replaced my bushings. It just has to do with the geometry of the tie rods.

So damn sweet!

"Bottom corner of the tire" 🤔 I know. what you meant lol. The f100 looks so good bro. Love this channel👍

Excelente! Saludos desde Argentina.

Back in the '80s ( yeah I know , ancient history ) one of the hot rod magazines did a skid pad test with a new Corvette . After the test with the factory wheels and tires they switched to NASCAR wheels and tires . They actually lost grip . They said because the suspension wasn't set up for the tires.

Nice setup bud...I used to run 235/60-15 on mine..with 8 inch wheels it looked and handled great..wish i woulda kept my old ford..

Dude ive watched you for a few years now and every time you mention alignment ive commented king pins lol even your 67 4x4 needs kingpins :D

Bad kingpins, balloon tire slicks on the front, manual steering = danger. Much respect Craig.

i love the look of it, but it reminded me of one time i was driving in the rain and going up hill on the freeway. I slid really bad that i almost shit my pants. It was scary enough that i went down and bought a set of new tires on credit! i hate barrowing money but when its to do with your saftey you cant really argue after spinning out a couple of times and not wrecking!

Sickest bumpside ever 👍👍

You could get front suspension and front end parts like a dirt modified runs, a lot of pages on social media to get some good cheap used parts

10:27 That worn Kingpin problem is accentuated by the need of more positive caster. More caster, the more stable the steering will feel in bumps and irregularities

The headlight harness is very user friendly had the same issue with my 73 C20 my harness is 10 years old now and still works, so well worth the money

Could you also go over your final 5 speed setup? I watched all the other vids but you swapped back and forth a couple times etc.

will the new harness cause a parasitic draw when the car is off? also you should really look into adding a ac system to your car, there has to be a aftermarket replacement for your heater box that incorporates both ac and heat

Man Forget all the negatives comments. You vehicle is incredible. I just get retired from the ARMY, 38 years old and you pop me up with that Pick up. I so the first video last week and three days ago I but my first pick up. Chevrolet C10 1987. Can you provide the info about the tires again. Thanks and enjoy brother. ARMY PRIDE , PROUD OF THE ARMY.

What up from the 909🇺🇸🏁

Love the look, and if someone hasn't said it already, your harder steering is coming from an excessive positive scrub radius. In a perfect world you would want the imaginary line from the upper ball joint to the lower ball joint, or in your case, through the king pin to touch the ground in the middle of the tire. Since ford deigned this suspension for a 5.5 to maybe a 7 inch wide, and you would have the tire touch the frame if you went with more back spacing it will never be perfect. But god damn does that thing look aggressive!

Love the seats!! What are they from?

Looks good af

What engine mods did to your f100??? Your truck sounds amazing bro

295/50R15 is very close to the same size as your racing tires. 10" tread width and 26" tall. I put them on my '66 F100 20 years ago, bitchin stance. If you are doing King pins look at swapping out for the '73-'79 1/2 ton axles found at any junkyard, and you'll get disc brakes, grab the master cylinder, booster and proportioning valve. Pull the the entire front end, radius arms, I beams, rotors, calipers. It's a quick cheap alternative to after market. I did this to my '66 as well. You can swap the F-250's as well for the guys with 8 lug trucks with drum brakes

Have you changed the shocks and leef sprigs. & new springs for the front?

Is there a video of the shifter install, I have a 67 f100 that i would like to change the sloppy factory shifter in

Looks killer if it makes you happy go with it

have a sb 73 f100 w a 390 3 on the tree looking foward to breaking it in soon. starts like a champ but needs work

Nice truck and did it originally have a bench seat?

I’m glad you beat on your truck like I beat on mine.

Thought that was the Estates. Nice Truck.

Those wheels and tires really look wicked! Were can I get a set of those wheels?

Would a mustang swap work? Could do a 10 inch on front instead of a 13. But i agree it looks really mean that way. Sounds awesome looks awsome.

I have a trans am I’m wondering what fit would work those looks so awesome how would I go about seeing what would fit

If you don't mind me asking what motor is in it my dad haves one of those truck in his backyard im from Phoenix Arizona his is a 1971 Ford Custom with a 302 your truck makes me want to go out there and work on it for it don't sit here love your truck and videos👉🙏✌🤘💨💨

vintage air install in the future?

Bonita camioneta. Estoy arreglando también una pickup antigua

Could always swap to Balll Joint. I-Beams and disc brake spindle.

The title is a little misleading lol. The tires look so sick! You should do a 180 header setup. Im doing that on my 65 mustang coupe with a 5.4 2v supercharged motor i built. Im going to be making my own headers. Cross plane ford engines with 180s sound better than flat planes i think.

Where did you get those tires looking to do a similar set up on my stick shifted 08 f150

That truck looks soooo much better with the new tires

He's only doing it for looks ...I agree can't beat it looks like a muscle truck give the Chevy only guys something to think about . I'm sure with radials you can get close to a similar width and put those tire letters on to complement the look .

Whats up craig, you daily drive your truck, and im wondering how yoyr truck does with mileage when daily driving it?

I want this exact look for my 62 unibody my grandpa was building it before he passed and it got passed on to me he put a 460 with a C6

It’s the steering head brother I had the same problem with the one I had

Wait what I just got the notification yesterday that you put the slicks on the truck but you posted it a week ago KZread tripping

Looks so bad ass craig

I like the look, but when did double past tense become a thing? I don't get it.

What mufflers do you have on this thing? It sounds heavenly

Even though I prefer a long bed, this truck is sick. Glad you explained the slicks are illegal. I was going to ask how you get away with slicks in California, when they are deadly strict on emissions and everything else. Lol. Are you making plans to bump that engine?

Love it !! It's perfect , stop with the disclaimers lol

Did you ever see like old Richard Petty film were hes doing laps around a track? If not Google it, because even with a racecar those big slicks are a mega handfull!

Going to a god alignment shop may be a good idea. Put some positive camber on that front end, like more than +5

and fun fact. You can run a 15. I have 15x6 weld draglites for mine. You need a 1" spacer. I got mine through American Muscle for about 90$. The issue is the face of the caliper, not the overall diameter. The 12" rotor + 4 " of space is theoretical. Experimental depends on the wheel. The face of the caliper sits farther out than the mounting surface on the rotor. The 1" spacer fixes that, and also makes the track width the same front to back, at least it does on my chassis swapped 72

When are you going to get it back running? This old man enjoys seeing you banging gears in it.

I will be watching for your king pin change...

Hey man hope you don’t mind I got a couple questions😂1.how much were they? 2 where did you get them? And do you think they will fit a 90s chevy

Get a racecar sticker kit for it and put some big old black and white numbers on the side!🔥

Check your kingpins for wear or a broken one

I'm not bashing or hating but can you please explain how a circle has a "bottom corner" lol

Can’t wait until the Marti report

Never seen so little power look so fun to cruise

Were can I get a set of those wheels?

It's all over the place because the tires are very wide. When I went from 225 to 255 up front of my fox body it started wondering all the time as well. It's just the nature of wide tires on a vehicle not meant for it.

That’s cool too😂😂

Are they 17 inch deep dish ?

Have you thot about taking your Nascar settup truck to an actual Nascar track or at least an asphalt oval and run it? With that set up I bet you could get some awesome drift around the track.

I run 295 50 15s about the same look.

Can I get the small square head lights for 87 Chevy pick up truck

anything over a 295 is gonna dart on the road from my experience anyways they find the grooves alot better

If it’s a solid straight axle nothing should have changed when you lowered except the pitman arm maybe.

I'm pretty sure that you are taller than me, but I would personally try a flatter steering wheel. I have a lacarra wheel, 15 3/4 inches, and it definitely got my elbow out of the wheel. That or lower your column if you can. You seemed crowded to the wheel.
