    Cool! What are your plans for the truck?

    My first vehicle was a '60 F100, in 2004.

    Very good. I had a '60 F100 as my daily driver when I lived in central Kansas. I'll always have a place in my heart for the '57 - '60s.

    Update... I have been working on the brakes and lights this weekend. I painted my rear bumper to match my patina paint lol. And on top of that I found a 1960 Arkansas license plate, The gf got it for me for valentines day :) Anyway I think I need a new headlight switch my headlights work, my blinkers work but no dash lights.:confused:

    Has your front bumper been shortend up closer to the grill as looks to be much closer than mine.
    I seem to have quite a gap between the grill and the bumper???

  20. i also notice you have some legitimate rust around the bottoms of the bed ends, they sell patch panels for those on our f-100 group on facebook.

    The problem with the dash lites is usually the rheostat on the lite switch. I am working on mine, just came in to eat. I'm sick of messing with it and dont need my dash lites to dim so I will rewire the dash lites so they are full bright all the time. You may have seen this truck when I drove thru Van Buren pulling a matching trailer.

    I like your truck. Is it going to be your daily driver?
