Ok,my cousin recently visited family up in North Ala. and was gracious enough to swing by my grandfathers house and snap a few pics of my 60 F100.Yeah the pics are crappy but he coul;d get too close due to A him being disabled and B. good ole Alabama hornets everywhere. Well after sitting 14 years here she is. He said he was shocked how good a shape it was and the tires still held air. *crosses fingers* I'm hoping to go up in early Aug. to get the damn thing finally,step one once its back is to remove them ugly hubcaps.and those are indeed the WRONG whitewalls.

nice truck, get that fucker outta there. looks like a really good start

HotRod60F100 · 07-16-2010, 02:44 AM

Thanks man. Yeah I've been wanting that thing in my driveway for ever now,fuckin economy and lack of work keeps me from it. Been saving though for gas and gonna use a buddies trailer and go get it asap!

HotRod60F100 · 07-31-2010, 09:54 PM

After an exhausting trip to North Ala. to pick it up here are the pics of us unearthing her and it in my driveway. Its amazingly not rotted out after siting for 16 years. The tires or course are dryrotten,the rads toast,it has a busted front leaf spring and the interior smells of mouse piss. Job ones gonna get her on jackstands so I can rip the tires off it and go find some junkyard tires to just keep it rolling and then I'm gutting the interior. I'm gonna try and get the motor started by pouring marvel mystery oil down all the sparkplug holes and rebuild the carb. Its a 292 Y block 2v.

More pics to come stay tuned

Dam that looks solid

69supercj · 07-31-2010, 10:04 PM

Nice truck, I've got its older sister!

HotRod60F100 · 07-31-2010, 10:16 PM

Well,its older sister looks like she didn't party as hard on the farm like her younger one has LOL Cool 58 btw!

crazydays · 07-31-2010, 10:29 PM

Looks really good for sitting that long! Good luck with her.

Kojack · 07-31-2010, 10:48 PM

Yeah, actually it doesn't look as bad as it does... you'd think she'd have a lot more cancer with were it was sitting. Congrats!

Javier · 07-31-2010, 10:49 PM

Wow!crazy seeing it in all those trees.Good luck with your new project.

Kickstarter · 07-31-2010, 10:55 PM

Nice. Another one being saved. And white wall snow tires!

HotRod60F100 · 08-01-2010, 12:49 AM

More pics
Heres my cousin Tony up in Boaz Ala. pressure washing 2" of mud that was in the bed and even had plants growing in it

and here's a back and other side shot of it

fiftyv8 · 08-01-2010, 01:06 AM

Sure looks like that towing hitch worked over time or was it just the bumper.
Nice start for a new project that is for sure.
The Y block engine has got to be a bonus.

AAFD · 08-01-2010, 02:13 AM

Surprisingly great condition considering the jungle it's been sleeping in for the past 16 years! Good luck with it.

zephyrV12 · 08-01-2010, 02:31 AM

if you need any parts for that truck let me know have lots of parts from nuts and bolts to complete trucks

**OahuEli** · 08-01-2010, 02:41 AM

Man oh man, what a jewel! The condition of your truck after sitting for 16 years is a testament to Ford quality! (I may be a bit biased

) You'd never see a Chevy last like that! Start a thread & keep us posted! You gonna stick with the y-block? They're damn good little motors.

HotRod60F100 · 08-01-2010, 02:44 AM

Thanks ,I might stick with the Y depending on how hard it is to find parts and how expen$ive it is.

**OahuEli** · 08-01-2010, 03:13 AM

Check out Egge Machine for your Y-block parts. They have good quality American made parts for good prices.

HeyyCharger · 08-01-2010, 03:15 AM

I'm just speechless on how straight and descent it looks after 15 or so years sitting in the jungle!!

NUTS!

Would love a daily like this!

Keep us updated!
