    This is my 58 ford truck, I am trying to decide how to do her up. Let me know, low and slow, sleeper, gasser style, salt pusher, hay hauler, bomber? Lets see some opinions. Thanks

    My vote goes with low and slow. I have a '60 that I plan on lowering this summer. I love these trucks.

    low and fast. I did one with a 460/c6. It was a really easy conversion, stock brakes and steering worked fine for me. It would scream. I think it was 2800 lbs on the local truck scale.

  11. Ya know I really like 'em a little on the rough side but I think the first thing I would do is try and make it all on color. :D

    I think we've already tackled this question haven't we or are there a rash of '58 ford owners that don't know what they want recently.

    Make a modern day redition of what you think a pusher looked like back in the later '50 or early '60s.
     
  12. those trucks look awesome hoodless, so whichever way you go, no hood

    I like all of 'em low, but they gotta go. Low and slow is ok for old men and women, but I like to go (oh by the way....I'm 50 so when I say slow is ok for old men and women...I mean...OOOOLLLLLLDDDDDD men)
