Keeping the Rhythm Going on Our ’67 F-100
In the last issue of FBG, we did some Crown Vic front upgrades to our 1967 F-100, and we wanted to keep the rhythm going and address the rear suspension too.
We have some fun plans with this ’67 F-100, and power is one of them. With that in mind, we elected to go for a new 9-inch GearFX driveline housing with 35 spline axles, 3:70 gears, a Detroit locker. To hold that monster of a rearend in place, we have the QA1 rear suspension. Just like up front, we went with a matching set of Baer Brakes Pro+ 6-piston setup.
One thing we did a little differently than a usual QA1 install is that we welded the QA1 axle parts to the axle instead of bolting it on, just because of what the intent of the final build is.
Here are the products we’re planning to use in this upgrade.
Pictured are Baer Brakes Pro+ 6 piston calipers and 14-inch rotors with internal parking brake.

We will also install a QA1 rear suspension with double adjustable coilovers.
We removed the bed to make the installation that much easier.
Here is what we started with.
