Features Good or bad let us see pictures of your F1 or F100!!!!

This belongs to a friend:



He has owned it for many years. It's his daily driver and, although rebuilt a number of times, it runs standard mechanicals.
I'm not keen on the look of the checkerplate step-side. The step-side was built to accomodate the dual rear wheels. The dual rears, from a F350 (?) were required to give sufficient traction to pull his "old and heavy" 23' Sharkcat out of the water.

 

Oh bummer..lol. Well gasser would be cool and easy. Just show her pics of some built gasser style and maybe she will come around.

Time to throw mine in here I guess.. Just got it this thursday.. It's a 58 with a 292 and a 4 speed.. Its been sitting for 12 or so years..

 

Cool another 57-60 being saved! What are your plans for it?

 

Y-Block powered Hot-Rod truck

 

A 51 I built back in the 80's, The 56 I built in the 70's and the 48 I am building now.

 

Havn't checked this thread for awhile ,,,,I'm still looking for a rear window and metal if anyone can help out. P.M's only, Thanks, TomCat1

 

I still have my eye out for one for you. Man If you were lookin for a 48 + chevy you would have one already You are the one that got me hooked on 56 coes's by posting this pick. I do need a good drivers door if you know where one is. That guy with the other coe i showed you picks of
has an extra passenger door it's 300 But where you gonna find a door

 

Here's my 1962 Unibody shortbed that is waiting its turn in the shop. Good rustfree body except the gate, no engine or trans. I love horse power but in this case I am thinking about trying to see how much gas mileage I can get out of one of these so I can use it as my daily driver. Wife wants me to buy a new truck but this would be alot more fun to drive and appreciate instead of depreciate. I've got a custom grill and lights to put in it plus some '57 caddy caps so I'm looking to go the nostalgia custom look. Any ideas on economical engine and trans combo's?

 

how 'bout ford's V-6 (the one that SHO Taurus's used and the "regular detuned" version)? they can be used in a front to back setting. one of the ford trannys works. it's either the ranger or aerostar van. i can't remember all the details, but i'm sure that some folks on here can fill in the details.

anyway, you could use the entire fuel injection setup and overdrive trans and get pretty decent mileage. you wouldn't be able to pull a 8,000# camper, but you can't pull big loads and get mileage too. you gotta choose one or the other; and it sounds like you've already chosen.

 

Here is a couple of ours, mine is a 55 Mercury M100 and my sons is a 52 F1...Kyle

 

Forgot to put a front view mine..Kyle

 

My old '56. I couldn't afford to get it to NC when I moved here so I left it with an old friend in MD. Wound up just giving it to him after I got laid off last year. Figured at least this way someone can fix it instead of it just rotting away in his yard....

 

my custom 1950 F100 built by oddball kustoms

 

What engine does it currently have? The six or a V8?

 

heres mine.

 

Here's my 61 F100 Unibody shortbox

 

You can use a regular F-100 door, you just have to cut the corner out like the COE door is.

 

54 Mercury, pic taken tonight. Finally got my rear tires to stop locking up with a proportioning valve so I have been driving it alot today.

 

Just painted my 56 F 100

How about some more info? Tell us all about it. By the way I love it!

 

Held together with baling wire and duct tape, and the Photoshoppped custom truck it will become if I can keep my shop rent up.
