Features 1959-60 Ford F100 Pics?

Hey guys I'm new here.

I just picked up a 1960 Ford f100 truck is running very clean body i picked up in Turlock Ca and drove her home. I was looking all over for a 59 Fleet side Chevy when i came up on a picture of a 1959 ford i fell in love with how it looked like a BOX

I'm going to start a build thread on here some ware just don't know what i put under!

I have a lot of plans for the truck i just orderd the Front end from FATMAN mustang 2 front im going to bag the truck and i want to put some white walls on it.

I also orderd the rear from a shop called gambino kustoms called the Tail dragger












I should start everything this weekend and hopping it will be done in 3 months

 

Here's mine when I brought her home. It's in pieces right now getting a full rebuild.

 

here is mine, im trying to figure out what i should do with the suspension as i type. any suggestions message me, right now its stock laying on 2x4s where it sits id need at least a 8'' drop to be like it is in the picture. ive been looking at Heidts mustang II kit let me know suggestions or anything that may help

 

I love this truck.drive it always.

 

here is a few f100 i found local in nor cal. white one was at a collectors place and the other was at a local car show.

 

need more pictures!

 

Here is my 59. I picked it up last spring and spent the summer lowering it and rebuilding the brakes. I lowered the front with a Sid's drop axle and removing the bottom leaf and reversing the eyes on the top spring. In the rear I flipped the axle c-notched the frame. The rear was a too low and the pumpkin was hitting the floor and I didn't want a hole in the bed floor so I flipped the rear spring hangers to pick it up about 2". I saw several posts on here about how terrible they drive. I think that people are not addressing the drag link angle with the drop axle. It took allot of heating and bending but my link is parallel to the ground and this thing sails down the highway like a new car. Another thing that may have helped is a 6 degree shim that Sid said he installs in every axle install he does. It has 6.00x16 in the front and 7.50 x 16 in the rear. I think I am going to get a pair of 7.00 x 16 for the front at some point.

I am running a tired 292 with the factory 4 speed but am going to need to either rebuild it this spring or change out the power plant.

 

I pick her up on Sat. First change will be to lose the wheels...

 

Stevie---That looks like a nice ride. Can't wait to see more pictures once you change out the wheels. Larry

 

Here are some updated pictures of my 1960 F100, its a slow moving work in progress.

Got tires for it finally last weekend so I can now roll it into the barn to start working on it.

 

Here's my 1960 ford gasser project, saving up for tires and wheels at the moment

Like the hood scoop off the Super Duty!

 

Nice photos guys !!

 

Here is my 59

 

kind of basic, but that would look great with black steelies and chrome caps, maybe just chrome lugs and rings, just my two cents. its a very nice looking truck!

 

An early start on my spring project

 

Like this?

 

Hell yes.

 

Stevie - Right on the money from my perspective. Looks great. Also, I really like your avitar - any chance I can get a copy for obvious reasons? Larry

 

Larry, I stole it from an eBay ad. You can get the print in several different color combinations, including yours. Unfortunately they don't have Apple Green.
