Have a job for you guys...going back to my truck roots...
 
I just picked up a 2000 ford f150 for a steal (free is definitely a steal ;D) and I'm thinking about making it my next project. It's only a rear wheel drive setup and has a no-balls v6 with a 5spd, but I think it would be a decent candidate for an airbag suspension that scrapes pavement. :) Only problem is I can't really find any pics of a 2wd f150 that's slammed to the ground...guess they're more popular as 4x4 redneck haulers. I need you guys to hook me up with some pics if you can find them or know where some are! Having a stock f150 just isn't me, so I need some evidence to convince the wife if ya know what I mean. ;)

Not true. I see tons of rednecks when I venture outside the city that ride around in ridiculously low trucks in primer grey with their crooked license plates.

The whole point of me wanting to airbag the truck is so I can avoid trying to build a drag project or some other fast machine. I have an Evo that's closing in on 400awhp and honestly I'm getting tired of going fast all the time and all the headaches involved. I just want to go back to the lazy days of cruising low and slow and have a slight bit of style while I'm at it. At least the v6 is pretty decent on gas by truck standards.
