Hi Mike Welcome from Western Australia. Great project and easy to get parts. I love mine and will enjoy driving it even more soon as I am putting a Jag front end in once more parts arrive from the states. Apart from the motor switch from a 6 to an 8 from a mustang, C4 and 9 inch diff I have tried to keep it looking stock. Have mostly used Midfifty and found them very helpful.
I also bought a 54 F100 2 1/2 years ago that was in pieces. Got most of my parts from Midfiftys & have no complaints. I'm sure a truck from Kansas can't be as rusty as Wi. Put in a 83 302, AOD & flipped the 3.90 original rearend, put a Must. 11 with dropped spindles up front. The last year has been used fixing rust out and now I'm getting a little burned out on it..
Welcome from the dry side of Oregon. 1956 F-100 owner, along with 1956 Ford Vic (wife's). So you can't say "Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas any more." bet ya never heard that line before have ya? Sorry had to do it. Welcome aboard the H.A.M.B.
Brad, I think your car sits about right, put the motor in it and drive it. BIG GRIN. I often say EVERYTHING looks better lowered.
