Picked up a 55 f100

Well I got it home today thanks to a friend with a trailer. I can't wait to get it running.

Thanks for the compliments I think it looks pretty cool too.

 

53 was the last year for the flathead.

Nice looking start to a cool project. I had to sell stuff too when I dragged my 53 home.

 

I know it sucks, I'd like to keep my 53 150 it has character...would be a cool car to fix up.

 

nice patina. great score

 

Cooooolllll! Drive it as is and enjoy... gather some parts and then have fun getting it to where you want .

 

here you go,lowered with spyder caps...although I changed the bolt pattern to 5 on 4.5 with a speedway disc brake kit then swapped out the rear end for a passenger car 9 inch as well

 

Nice start. Keep posting (Tom (Tired Old Man)

 

nice some big and littles on red rims w/ wide whites and call it done! my wife was not happy when i brought home a59 apache w/350 pontiac in so i drove it daily for 5 years it was a great work truck.

 

cool bumpers!

 

Nice truck, from what I can see it looks like I would have to go with an smaller bolt pattern to run the spider caps. I really don't want to spend that kind of money right now. I'll figure something out. I found a thread with a ton of F100 pics so I have some ideas. I saw some lug nuts and a center push through that looked similar to spider caps but I don't know if that would look good. I'll figure something out eventually. First I have to get it running and stopping.
