Modified Mustangs & Fords - Mustangs and Fords Magazine
Many vehicles are chosen based on fleeting impressions that stand the test of time. Recalling events from the long distant past, we think about the family cars we grew up with, those cars we longed for as teenagers in high school, or even exotic transportation we’ve seen in the movies. Frank Meininger’s dream began many years ago when he was in the Air Force, stationed in Germany. Now retired from the Air Force and working as a financial advisor in Orange Park, Florida, Frank came across a truck similar to the one he’d seen in Germany almost two decades before. Frank brought the truck home and began a 3-1/2-year makeover. A new, narrowed Ford 9-inch rear with a Detroit Locker and nodular pumpkin was locked in place with a triangulated three-link, a Panhard bar, and QA1 coilovers. Major changes occurred to the original Ford solid front axle, thanks to Rick Smith of JR’s Muffler and Welding in Jacksonville. Rack-and-pinion power steering ensured rapid response in the turns and Power Stop disc brakes guaranteed safe stops, thanks to their cross-drilled and slotted. Source: www.mustangandfords.com
