This is my 58 ford truck, I am trying to decide how to do her up. Let me know, low and slow, sleeper, g***er style, salt pusher, hay hauler, bomber? Lets see some opinions. Thanks
My vote goes with low and slow. I have a '60 that I plan on lowering this summer. I love these trucks.
low and fast. I did one with a 460/c6. It was a really easy conversion, stock brakes and steering worked fine for me. It would scream. I think it was 2800 lbs on the local truck scale.
Yeah, g***er. Like this one. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ford...ashZitem170089880499QQitemZ170089880499QQrdZ1
My '58 351W/FMX/9" Big Backwindow.I was getting together some steelies wide whites when divorce forced the selling of it.
Ya know I really like 'em a little on the rough side but I think the first thing I would do is try and make it all on color. I think we've already tackled this question haven't we or are there a rash of '58 ford owners that don't know what they want recently. Make a modern day redition of what you think a pusher looked like back in the later '50 or early '60s.
I like all of 'em low, but they gotta go. Low and slow is ok for old men and women, but I like to go (oh by the way....I'm 50 so when I say slow is ok for old men and women...I mean...OOOOLLLLLLDDDDDD men)
go low. this is a photoshop of my truck a year ago, but with darn near a 14" drop i'm putting in right now in its actually gonna sit lower.
what are you guys using to get the front end down? subframe? i've got my eye on a '60 at a local junkyard. i need a truck.
