Looks pissed Bob! Great work!

 

That's what i'm shooting for. Thanks Jeremy...

 

Looking good bob!! I dig the bed flooring!!!

 

Thanks...I should have the permanent peices done in a week or so. Hard putting out $200 for a sheet! They have cutoffs,so i'm gonna look for some close to what I need. Save a few bux,at least.

 

There you go... so you're just gonna use a drop axle in the front and let it sit level. That'll look pretty good... so glad you took that jacked up air ride off the back, the way it set was atrocious! You got a good eye to see past that mess!! ha

 

Damn Bob your kicking ***! That little truck is looking fantastic!!

 

Gonna get some air shocks so I can load it up. After talking to KiwiSteve and my friend Tony,I decided to go with a Jag front susp. Easy install and great ride.

I agree. The bars on top of the frame and the way they attatched everything was pretty sad. All the stock leaf mounts were cut off,so I just used 3x3,1/4" angle. The back bolts on though,in case it has to be changed later,for pinion angle or whatever.

Gonna start on the panel paint job today after work....so,get ready for all the HATERS!! haha

 

Everybody at El Mirage loved it! Even had a few guys taking pic's of it. Ran like a top!
BTW-How come the wheels weren't balanced? Had to have all four balanced friday!

 

Ooooh please do a tech on installing that jag frontend in the f100 please!!!!

 

You mentioned GREAT mileage. What are we talking, like low 20's?

And are you sure you don't want those guys that killed Blake's truck to do your front end? Ha!

I've got an extra tail gate if you need one... let me know.

 

Tall Paul did a thread on it,and a few guys posted their installs,but I think I can do a good tech on all that's necessary to convert over. I did some homework on it last night. Looks pretty easy. I'll probably have slddnmatt help me. That ****er can do anything!!!

 

HELL YES!!! I was getting ready to just make one. I'd much rather just cut the old **** out and put a stock one on. PM me the details and we can get that thing shipped to me.

 

I bet it's at least 22-23. I'll check after I get my speedo cable.

 

What do the rear tail lights look like?

 

Don't know what they're from.

 

*****in' brother. Hoping, just MAYBE, I can make your BBQ with the family. I'll RSVP if I can make it for sure.

Wow, good question! Didn't own that one long enough to dive into anything. Sure looking good now though!

 

Runs pretty smooth now it's balanced,haha...

 

A Freakin Men !!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Badbob, Ill go... What kind of Bag set up was it? How much do you want for it? I don't care what others think if I have bags on my 54.

 

So Cal Speed shop sells them as weld in frenched tail lights for '52 - '54 Ford or custom application.

Lookin good Bob, keep it Up !

 

The tank and bags say Firestone on them,but no markings on the compressor. I have a sale pending...I'll let you know if it doesn't go through.

 

Painted the dash panel Roth Blue Balls flake today and put the door handles back on. Door poppers aren't gonna work. Truck doors never seem to open without using your shoulder. Gonna wire up the gauges and hook up the lights,check out the gas gauge,and start the panel paint,tomorrow. I'll take pic's...

 

Is it those modern bear claw latches with a big pin to grab onto? Tried once loosening the nut holding the big pin so it could slide around a little. hit the latches a couple of times and it nudged the pin just into the right spot.

 

And so....the madness begins!!!!
Only took an hour to tape it out,and spray it. Can't even tell it's flake at night. Looked great in the sun,before I left the shop.Looks pretty close to my first drawing...

 

Not bad..

 

This is the best I could do with the flash. I'll get a better shot in the sunlight tomorrow.

 

Awesome Bad Bob. nifty little truck... and your touches only enhance it.
