Any interest at all in my F-1 project? It is a perfect cab (sandblasted and still raw) With fiberglass fenders and running boards. It is sitting on a stock z'ed frame. The z is a little ghetto, but solid. It has a 400M out of a '77 Lincoln in it. It has a 7" dual diaphram power brake booster under the seat, and new brakes at each corner (disc front, drum rear). I had it to the "go cart" stage and drove it around the yard a little earlier this year. The bed is still a pile of parts, actualy a trailer built out of an original early bed, and then a pile of bed sides, and a gate, and front in the trailer also. It has a new aluminum radiator, and a mustang gas tank installed and plumbed. I have a Ranger bench seat that works well. I have the steering column and tranny out of the Lincoln installed as well. I have easy 5k in parts in this thing, not to mention all the work. It is channeled 6 inches over the frame. The fenders will probably need to be trimmed to keep from dragging. The motor has a new one wire alternator, one wire distributor, and new intake and carb. The motor had 80k miles on it, but has great oil pressure right away (new oil pump too), and runs well. I can fire it up and send video if someone is really interested. It has a tranny cooler in the frame rail. The cab has suicide door hinges installed, and the old hinge pockets filled and welded up, but they need ground off and puttied yet. Dual exhaust with crossover pipe, and glass packs installed. Most of this was built by me, and I don't know my ass from my elbow, so the workmanship is varied from above average shade tree to hack. I have enough parts laying around to finish almost everything, but the major parts missing are glazing, and electrical/gauges. I have a clear title in my name. If anyone want pics just send me your email and I will gets pics out to you. I will probably keep assembling pieces a little at a time to make it more "saleable," but if I really wanted to work on it I would keep it and finish it.
