it was a freinds truck we all miss it. we all helped build it i wasnt there for that but IIRC its stock f250 mounts modified to fit and stock radius arms cut on the ends and the center sections were lenghtened.

F250 did not come with radius arms until the early 2000. There were always leaf sprung regardless of solid axle or TTB D50. Based only on the pictures, those look like factory F150 arms that were just modified to probably run a flex or heim joint at the frame end.

IIRC, factory 78-79 F150 and Bronco frame end coil buckets are either bolted to the frame or only held on with a couple rosett welds, but are easy to remove and can be reused on any application assuming the frame widths are "about" the same. Usually you can fudge the springs in or out a couple of inches.

This also is a good read for some info

not radius arms, just didnt know what to call them. they are the stock arms for that axle modified to fit. buckets are a 4in tube cut and has a keeper on the inside with a nut on top. i beleive the coils are 6in dodge or ford coils. the frame side of the arm is a bushing not a heim.
