    Lose the yellow, flake the **** out of it, drop it in the weeds, put some nice rollers under it.

    Body looks nice.

    loose the stepside..Ford stepsides look the same from the 50's to the 70's, always looked out of place to ME.. Here is a pic of my buddies old 65 2wd that we lifted a few inches. grainy pic was from about 10 yrs ago, and then a few months back it was on ebay..still looked pretty good, other than it had some ugly *** interior that got put in it...

    Congrats on the acquisition of your 63 f100.
    They are great practical project trucks.

    I have a 1960 f100 now which ran a 223 in it and it was great unloaded but even that struggle to do good highway speeds.

    Since owning my 1960 f100 I have done several modifications to help make it a more driveable vehicle. I went to a 3.54 : 1 diff and overdrive ****** plus a few other comforts...

    I second the Crown Vic.... Bags can be rough on a frequent driver, just jump in and enjoy!

    id have to kindly disagree....
    look at the cost of finding a crown vic, and replacing all the ball joints,bushings etc. then price a mm2 set up. I went mm2 with bags, and drive it almost every day, and on long road trips.
