Technical new project

Heres a similar panel that runs around town, here. My youngest daughter went to high school with the owner's son. Never met him, myself.

 

I got the '56 panel started after 38 years. the water pump is junk though.

 

I worked on making motor and trans mounts today and set the engine in.

 

had a little progress. I got a good deal on a new column and put in a power brake system.

 

progressing well and looking good , love these later F100 panels .. Noticed that the old steering wheel was oldsmobile.. could the donor that supplied the wheel have been the source of the front clip? pretty much similar to the Camaro ..

 

I do believe that it has an Olds front clip with drum drakes. It also had a trany with the BOP pattern and home made mounts to push the engine foward.

 

Too bad u couldn't keep rear bumper from 56 for yours. That bumper is very hard to come by.
I have a 56 F100 panel I bought in Oregon, drove to Seattle and shipped by Matson to Maui. Years later when I moved it went by ship to Long Beach and then on to Lubbock Tx. Well travelled old work truck.

1 more car I promise, Rex Winter
Dry n windy Lubbock TX
