Here is my dad's '55. He has had it since about 1973. This picture was taken back in the '90's. It has been off the road since '94. Getting it's third rebuild. This one belong to a friend of ours. Chopped 7in, sectioned 3in, shortened about 12in.
this truck is enough , to make everyone burn their trucks and start over ..i haven't seen it in person .but,i love it !
These are the only 2 shots I got of my buddies 56 and my old 52. 500 miles from home on top of the Smokey Mountains. Later,Bill
Here are some pictures of mine. The chassis should be done next week. Then back to the body, the floor and toe kick are in and the front grill has been modified, the hood has 154 louvers in it. the chassis; the Big front brakes
Nice!!!! Not trying to hyjack, but whats a good rear end size for these pickups, besides a $1,500 Currie 9". Thanks...
51 Gringo: any 1957-72 ford f-100 rear end will bolt in. The perches are in the original spots. Most came with 9in fords some had spicer/dana's as well.
56 F-100 I was building for a customer, 3" chop, 4" section. He decided he wanted 17" billit wheels, orange and white 80's style two tone paint with tan "puffy" leather seats. I couldn't do it. Had him take it out of my shop, as far as I know it still sitting, I might try to buy it from him and finish it the way it should be!
Old Pic of my bros' 55(1st pic)...the Creeper....the whole gang pitched at one time or another in the building of this truck.....He gave me a lot of opportunities to put my imagination to good use and come up with alot of the modifications for this truck...I also helped him rebuild the floors and subframe before he learned how to weld....it's almost donenow(2nd pic)...these trucks are great looking.
