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.
Yeah, gasser. Like this one. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ford...ashZitem170089880499QQitemZ170089880499QQrdZ1
My '58 351W/FMX/9" Big Backwindow.I was getting together some steelies wide whites when divorce forced the selling of it.
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. 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.
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)
go low. this is a photoshop of my truck a year ago, but with darn near a 14" drop i'm putting in right now in its actually gonna sit lower.
what are you guys using to get the front end down? subframe? i've got my eye on a '60 at a local junkyard. i need a truck.
