Features 1959-60 Ford F100 Pics?

I finally got the white walls on.....

 

Definitely looks cool. Liked the thin lines, but these stepped it up. cj

 

I like em, radial or bias ply? And what size are they?

 

I agree 56 Ford Custom, I plan on using this and white in a two tone on my 60 when paint time comes! It was between April green and Adriatic green (60 Ford Car color).

Although I have seen some pics of a Goldenrod Yellow and white 60, that got me to thinking that I might end up going back to stock colors. Still have over a year to decide.

 

radials...195 front 215 rear.
Really needs a 235 or 255 in rear.

 

Anyone in the Modesto, CA area have a couple of steel rims for these Fords? I was going to have mine powder coated but found one was bad, I'd take a pair as the second one has some rust inside as well.

 

What size are you looking for hero ^^^^^^^^^^
stock width?

 

If i sell my apache soon enough this one is gonna be my next project.

Its a 58'

 

I believe standard stock size is: 15x6.5 or 7" for a Ford 9" rear end.

 

Bitchen! Thats a sharp looking long bed. You nailed the stance perfectly

 

A little sweat, glass bead the FORD letters and polish start......

 

ssssshhhhh don't tell my wife I just got my 59 F100 4x4 back! I sold it to a friend when I moved and now that were back it's back!

 

My soon to be daily. None too sure about the orange, and the black (it was originally a black truck) will probably change. It's an F250, so some other changes are in order.
Thanks, again, to Older'n Dirt for the lettering lesson!

 

i like these little trucks been watching around for one half heartedly , would like one for a parts hauler

 

Chevyben, your truck is bad ass!

 

Here’s something I can’t get out of my head lately: The 1958-1960 Ford cab seems to have perfect lines to go with a ‘70s Class C motorhome body. Toss in a 1961 Shasta travel trailer color and graphic scheme, and I think you’d really have something.

I found one in palm springs on craigslist for sale yesterday

Oh the above add says 1960 but im pretty sure its not a 60

 

Oh how I miss my Effie Turquoise 1960 F100...lowered front end, white grille and bumpers....at least I've still got tabs on it after all these years.
My wife wants an old pickup and I'm TRYING to steer her to a '57 - '60 Ford!

 

its got a 60 hood and grill!!!

 

It has a 60 sheet metal for sure

 

Here is a little update on my 58 long bed to short bed project. I just got the SWB back from the blasters and its currently in expoxy primer. I need to do a little work to the right rear fender opening but other wise it's in good shape. This past week I was able to get the Sid's drop axle in the truck. I'm really happy with the outcome. I still need to bend the pitman arm and get an alignment. This is how the truck now sits with the Sid's 2.5" axle and mono-leafs with reversed eyes

 

Looking good^^^^^^ keep us updated

 

hey matt, lookin cool. Regarding the shim, take a look at hotrod1959 thread on his yellow 59 or tim's crew cab. I believe both show the shim in place.

 

Matt, the '58 looks really good, it's a very good stance for it.

 

Hey fellas, here is the 59 F100 the shop I work at is building. This is also my apprenticeship project. It's got some rust, the body is sitting on a newer twin I beam frame. Plan is tow rig.

and yes that troll thing was jammed in the lower bed corner..creepy as hell

 

Thanks guys... I was hoping to have this project done a long time ago. I've been super busy with a million other projects

 

Don't sweat it man, alot of us hoped to get our rigs done but other stuff got in the way.

 

I swore mine would take no more then a year to get it on the road, it's not at over 2 years. Yeah, I think we all understand.

 

I have a pretty good excuse...I've been super busy with a new project "New England Speed & Custom" I'll be posting another thread bout that eventually....I'm pretty stoked
