Alaskan New Girl - 62' F100 Unibody w/ 460

Discussion in 'New to the H.A.M.B.? Introduce yourself here!' started by Lil Red Dirty Birdy, Jun 3, 2015.

  1. Hey all! Purchased my first project a couple months ago and working through the front end at the moment. It's a 1962 F100 with a 460 dropped in (rather sloppily). Automatic trans on the floor. The to do list is long, but at the moment, these are my priorities.

    Oversize king pins and bushings
    New springs (all four on the poor guy were different)
    Steering box and column (someone just slapped one in there and mounted on top of the frame at a horrific angle)
    Engine crossmember (because there isn't one)
    Exhaust headers (because the current ones are routed between the the transmission crossmember and the trans, leaving the engine to literally sit on top the exhaust.)
    Frame work (couple plasma cut holes and ****py half-fixed cracks because people sick)

    Once some of this is out of the way I'll start bringing it's interior up to par!
