Features TRUCKS ONLY PIC THREAD! Show me your cool trucks...

you need to make a mold of that hood and start selling it! looks sick!

 

Capitalism,spelled buy low ,sell high. If you have it they will buy.

 

I wouldn't call it cool either. I would call it super cool! LOL

Why only to 56? there is a huge market for the 57-60 Ford trucks too that everyone ignores.

 

So far it works for me, Oh and do you have a line on a $25 fender.... LOL

 

I have some 57-60 stuff
Hell i even have chevy n dodge parts
But f100 stuff finds me
And these pics arent even a dent in what i have.

 

I getcha!

I had the same thing with model T oarts and 46-48 Canadian Dodge parts, so once I started to build either type of vehicle I was well set up to do so!

 

BADMUTHAFUKINASS!!!!!!
I hope my in laws 59 will look near that good one day.

 

just posted mine on the before and after thread. saw this one and figured it was appropriate too. mine is actually a daily driver if you can believe it. (10 mpg) just spun a bearing in the engine though. putting the new one in this weekend. -DVZ

 

Is that a 2 ton? That has the be the shortest wheel base I have ever seen on one! What was it originally used for?

 

This is exactly how I see trucks. Not perfect, but close. Still usable. Fun.

 

No,The manifold was changed out at some point. I would love to have one,but they're REAL expensive!!!! My plan is to put a Manifre,4-2's manifold on it.

Finally finished the sideboards....

 

Thanks,Rusty. It's "usable" alright! It's my daily driver.

 

dvzdeathtrap, I totally dig the headliner in that truck, way cool.

 

it was a farm truck. "hay hauler". shortened about 7 ft with the half ton bed on it. i had to cut the rear fender wells out a bit to fit the 20 inch wheels. they guy i bought it from shortened it. i would have shortened it at about a foot longer. anyway, i love it. definitely draws a crowd. -DVZ

 

Honestly, that looks like a 3/4 ton bed that was cut at the middle stake pocket. But I still like this beast.

 

My daily driver now, slowly working on things to make it better

 

possibly. i figured it was a 3100 bed. it is short though. i had to create an extention to be able to haul my bikes in it. -DVZ

 

Looks good Bob

 

I love it!

And I too love that Johnny Cash headliner, very funky!

 

Well I guess it doesnt look as goofy as I thought! haha. Maybe I will just lower it a couple of inches in the front to even out the stance. Thanks for the compliments fellas.

 

My 51

 

As cool as that is, that truck is way off topic....

YES YES YES!!!!! That is so cool. I love seeing odd ball trucks being built right! Man that thing is sweet! Give us some more stats!(other than the fact that it is running a nail head.)
