StraightSix Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Ooh. A fresh built 300 and a painted frame! It looks like you have done a lot already! It also looks like you have the dual shock front end? I think that was a factory option, my bronco has it as well. Maybe someone who knows more can clarify that.

But the frame and engine show a great level of detail. Ford called that shock arrangement "quad shock", but it does look factory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks man, The left front fender needs replacing so I just took it off. Makes it much easier to get to the proportioning valve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rembrant Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 It also looks like you have the dual shock front end? I think that was a factory option, my bronco has it as well. Maybe someone who knows more can clarify that. Quad shock front end and both front and rear factory swaybars too. This truck was meant to be sturdy on the road! Don't see factory AC on the 300's all that often either, or at least I haven't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, door hinges, and clean out the "duck-bill" cowl drains! They get all plugged up with dirt and debris after a while. Clean them out and then run some water down the cowl to flush them out.
