    well i finally got the gl*** in!, well most of it, im still waiting on the one piece door gl*** kit to come in. and after waiting on two windshields ( the first one was broken by the gl*** shop uncrating it) i can finally start driving this beast. oh i and i put the interior back in. nothing fancy. just simple and clean. and the exhaust is done. 2 1/4 duals with smithy's and fenderwell dumps. sound pretty good behing a 302 with a hefty cam
    ill get some better pics when the weather is better

    Man that is one sharp truck. I always liked the '58 best of the square F100s.
    Good job!

    Thats a sharp truck, and oddly enough I can see styling cues around the fenders from that truck in modern trucks like the latest Nissan and Dakotas...
    What goes around comes around.

    Great job !

    Your truck is so simple and clean, very nice! I too dig the 58's the most out of the square f100's. These trucks are so cool, and I don't feel they get the respect they deserve. Again very nice!

    Your truck looks great.I am in the process of doing a 58 and am wondering what suspension set-up you have as the stance is perfect.

    WOW,, thanks for all the kind words. to answer a few questions,
    Sacramento Vintage Ford sells the one piece window kits, they are 350.00 and come with all the brackets,runners, fuzzies and the gl***.
    on the suspension, i ended up flipping the front axle and moving the steering box up, it ended up at about a 6" drop, on the rear i flipped the axle and notched the frame.
    again thanks for all the compliments!
    have a merry christmas

    Good color for a nice looking truck. Can't have too many chromed reversed wheels.
