Lets see some some Slick 60s F100s!

Hey, speakin' of drops, what is a simple "spring under" worth on these trucks?

just stick a 3.50 or so in it and you'll be fine. weed out the people blowin sunshine up your butt (or thier own) and listen to the people that are trying to help you, geniuses or not. non of us are. good luck on your truck...ive allways had the early f100's but am looking to trade my old, rough hotrod 54 panel for a 58 short bed. just havent found the right one. these sites as well as the late 50's one have helped with ideas.

 

Please check your PM.

Here's a couple pics of my '64..





Yeah... it's TRASHED...
Hopefully not for long.

 

Sweet Highway worker orange truck!
lol buff out that paint and roll with it.

 

Keep this thread alive and I'll try to get some in progress pics of my 63 up on here! Anybody got a factory front axle laying around that can be had for CHEAP or FREE? Mine got lost along the 10 year stretch! Or anyone know where to get one thats already dropped? PM me if ya do please.

 

Here is my moms 65 half ton, 352FE. Been in the family since 1970, the dually kit is an original JC Whitney kit with fiberglass fenders.

 

Here is mine as it sits right now. 1964, 223, 4sp on floor. I have all the body parts for it, plus a bunch of extra fenders and doors.

 

So I recently got my hands on a 63 aluminum grill... wondered what the concensus was on them.. im 50/50 about. Ive got a 64 aluminum as well.. not in as good a shape though... the 65 is steel and is white and rust.

The front of my truck has the dropped straight axle 3". I didnt touch too much more of it. I tried to leave as simple as possible and original (other than having disc brakes up front that is).[/QUOTE]

did you buy a drop axle and if so, where did you get it?
thanks

 

Dropped axles, reversed eye leafs and all that good stuff can be had from Sacramento Vintage Ford it sets you back about $450 a pop for axle or springs.

 

Here`s mine. 61 Unibody. Great little project , 302 / AOD.

Thinking of selling it. . .

 

Here's my 62 under progress.

 

thank you, bigd4xman.

 

sweet rides

 

the burgandy and silver scalloped 65' on page 10 is to die for
any one know who owns it?

 

bttt

Here is my 60 custom cab. i hate myself for selling it.

 

does anyone know what the owner of that killer burgandy and silver 65'
used for suspension??? i cant sleep thinking of that truck.

 

It has a camaro front clip and a camaro rear end. Little D bought a donor camaro, I think it was a 75 or 76. He used the front clip, motor, tranny, rear end and I think the booster and master. He also air bagged it, 4-linked the rear, put the IFS clip in super low. Even aired up the thing was lower than most of the F-100s that are considered really slammed.

I went on the maiden voyage to Lone Star Round Up in that thing. It was a pretty amazing trip, Little D let the truck off the lift for the first time, bolted the hood on and we threw our bags in the bed and left for Austin. No shake down miles, we just stopped for gas then got on the freeway headed east. We stopped in New Mexico to change the break-in oil and the tranny fluid, checked all the bolts and got back on the road. I will never forget that trip...

 

I hear this truck is a lowrider now with wires and a layered paint job, Anyone know if thats true???

 

I really enjoyed looking at all of the pictures , love 60s ford trucks! My only complaint would be the coolest ones had the worst wheel choices and sat way too low....yes i know they are bagged, but how traditional is that? Not trying to start a bitch fest, just irritates me to see them HUGE billet wheels on old iron....that otherwise appears traditional. Some class and modern tech is ok with me....bags are ok, but gawd buy some "era" type wheels, them big ass rims just suck.

And thanks again, keep the pics coming.

 

Here are some pics from our trip...





This is just about ride height...

The guy at the quick lube was really cool and let us down in the pit to tighten everything up...

 

Anyone knows who owns this 60. I have some questions. Thanks.

 

thanks guys.

 

That's a baaaaaaaad bitch!

 

I think alot of guys with big billet wheels are compensating for something?!?!?! lol. nah.. I think they are just easier to get... you can go to about any wheel shop and pick up a billet wheel.. rarely see any vintage wheels.

 

here's my '65 f100 short bed pro street packed with a 514 cui stroker..

 

Verrry nice!
