Heres my '52. I have extra grille teeth I want to put on, and I want to lower it a little. I am also leaning towards some simple pinstriping.

 

Mine

 

i'm trying to get this one............

 

Check these out

 

and just got the hood louvered:

 

I am not one for "kustom" trucks, I really dig the lowered push trucks and hot rod inspired pickups, but this truck gives me goosebumps!

NICE! love the louvers in the hood & killer stance

 

Thanks Hotrodsurfer, all done with no "bags", just pure suspension geometry the ole way but using modern components.

 

Anybody near St Louis know of some that could install a IFS and a rear end in a 59 F100? I had a newbie call me last night looking for advice. He is open to Volare, Mustang II, or what I have, a Ford Crown Victoria front suspension clip. Thanks for any leads,

 

here are the 3 i own...........flat bed has 48000 orig miles flathead v8 shes still a virgen......black truck 327....yellow trk 427

 

The day I dragged it home and slight progress.

 

couple more of my old truck...wonder how it's doing up in Canada (bet it hates the cold!) AND...it wasn't bagged either...this was ride height for over 70K miles!

 

Where in Canada did it go?
There is a similar truck in the Regina, Saskatchewan area but can not remember if it was flamed like yours.

this is my dad's 56 big window. we picked it up out of Tucson last year for $9,000. i don't know if that was cheap or not, it is compared to the basket case BW's over here in So Cal.has a 428 super cobra jet with two fours. i need to repaint it next year

 

check these out that I found today, wish I had a rail to go in the back of my old 56.

 

lodaddyo I really like your 58

 

thats a long bed??

 

Brewsir, I found this picture on Rikster's site. Do ya reckon this could be your old truck wearing new paint?

 

Here's a '53 that is a replica of a bunch of F-100's that were customized by a new Ford dealership in Denver, Colorado called 'Bob Jones Skyland Motors' They were commonly referred to as "Bob Jones Specials" and were sold brand new right off the showroom floor fully customized. There was a write-up in Hot Rod Magazine (I think October, 1956) about these customized pickups entitled "Truckin First Class".

One of the pictures shows it next to the 'number 777' Bonneville streamliner which held the title of "Worlds Fastest Hot Rod" (powered by 3-flathead engines) in the 1950's and was sponsored by 'Bob Jones Skyland Motors'

This truck is powered by a 500 Cadillac engine and has a Chrysler Cordoba front end using a Gibbon crossmember.

 

AWESOME!! simply one of the nicest f100s posted, and there is a lot of nice iron posted here

 

Yep thats the old batfink.

 

Here's mine. It sat for 19 years until I got it in Oct of 06. First job was to get it road worthy again. This year I want to update it bit.

 

What color is that?

"What color?"

some mixture of rustoleum Regal Red and Black, and about 30 years of age. Since I've been using it and its been out in the sun, its looks more like iron oxide primer now. It's a 50 footer!

 

Any problems with fading? I mean, does it get real chalky if you don't do much to it?

Any cracking problems? I'm wanting to do the same with mine, in the same color.

Did you use any hardener? Any clue (an educated guess is okay) as to what percentage of red vs black you used? Gloss or semi-gloss?

Sorry for all the questions - just looking for tips.
