    This my new project, a 1957 Ford F-100 panel truck. it is mostly all complete just missing rive train and rear axle mostly. It also needs a fuel tank. If anyone has suggestions as to what will fit or work I would appreciate it. I can't find any replacements. Here are a few pictures. My plan is a low dollar driver. It has a o/t front frame clip. 57 f-100 panel 021.JPG 57 f-100 panel 022.JPG 57 f-100 panel 007.JPG Daniel Field's shop 008.JPG Daniel Field's shop 009.JPG

    20 gallon Mustang tank between the frame rails at the rear. Might have to move the rear crossmember back a little.

    After starting on mine I was given the job of getting this '56 panel running and stopping after sitting for 38 years.

    It looks pretty solid, what do you have in mind for an engine?
