    Friend of mine is looking to get one, but he's gonna need to see one done "right" before he buys. I've looked all over, but most of the '53-56 trucks I found online were just done wrong.

    Can you help me find a few pics guys? Thanks.

    I have always liked that truck...

    Gotgas, what do YOU consider is "right" before anyone wastes their time posting pics?

    "Right" means no corny billet side mirrors, no "mystichrome" paint, no cheezy '80s directional 15" wheels with white letter tires, etc. I like them done as push trucks, shop trucks, slammed with wide whites and done in a '50s-60s hot rod style even though very few people actually did anything with them in that time period.

    I love that truck even though I rarely like F-100s chopped. :cool:

    This is how they were done right circa 1958...

    Awesome! We have a mutual friend that could airbrush that right on his truck. :) Thanks for the pictures guys, feel free to add more if you know of some good ones.
