f-100's

Amazing! ....heavy sigh!

 

And here's an updated pic

 

Gorgeous F100!

 

I always dug that panel, and the new paint and caps lend it a real classy feel. Nice job, Mac!

 

The paint is just a green metallic base-coat with no clear.

 

Thanks alot man I couldn't have done it without Brewsir's help, still need to do alot more customizing to it though

 

Hey Hotrod Surfer is this thread OK for F1's as well like 1950 and if not
is there a good thread for F1's

 

I agree. Looks good.

 

Her are some pics of my 50 F1 starting with the front end all the plating I got
for 200.00 bucks in Portland at the swapmeet

Here is a 56 I'm working on for a friend 4.6 using SBC mounts and some patch panels. Need to get it to paint so i can start on my 32

 

Mine before the rework began, most of the parts came off this one to go on my 54 F100...

 

Needs more SCULLS.

 

Well...I think I killed this thread, with my last "Rat Rawd" themed post.

I'm attaching this thing to a Ford Ranger's chassis that I've had sitting around forever, should be interesting. I think the track width is going to be sorta screwed up though.

 

found a few more pics of F-100's some are older pics of trucks already posted.

 

the creeper again

 

the old ones

 

and an F-1 to end it.

 

WHOA!...blast from the past!

The panel in an EARLY incarnation.

 

work in progress

 

Here's a pic of my '53. This was taken a few years ago here in the Phoenix desert. It's currently undergoing some new changes and upgrades with hopes of being on the road again in the near future.

 

What did you do for supension and wheels/tires in this pic? It looks
really good!

 

future projects or parts. everyone keeps asking for parts but they don't want to come apart.

 

Thank you very much!
The front suspension is a RB's Obsolete front clip that uses 80-88 GM G Body car suspension components. This clip works well and I love how my truck handles and drives.
Here's a link to see it: http://www.rbsauto.com/product.asp?Product_Id=173051&d_Id=17224&l1=17224&l2=

The rear suspension is all stock Ford. My truck started life as a 3/4 ton longbed, so I took a bunch of leaves out of the spring pack. Then when I moved the spring hangers forward (to match the short bed wheel base) I also raised them up on the frame, to lower the rear.

The Wheels are Wheels Vintique chrome reverse OE style wheels. The rears are 15 x 8 and the fronts are 15 x 7, I forget what each backspace specs are though. The tires are BFG radials 275/60-15 and 215/75-15 and an old timer here in Phoenix cut and added the whitewalls for me.

 

nice truck! love that color

 

Well, here's my contribution - OK, it's a 250, but it is getting F-100 hubs and an F1 rear axle to get me 5-lug hubs, then gotta rewire it and get it on the road before sorting the cosmetics. It's a California truck and there are just a handful of small rust holes, although there's definitely some panel-straightening required.



By the way, it's cold and wet over here so I need a heater for it!

 

Man, this is an inspiring thread! This is my '54 that I picked up last month. As soon as I get the Fairlane squared away, I'll get started on this.

 

Thank you very much!

 

Hey Brian... I remember seeing your truck four or five years ago at VLV and thought it was bitchin'... still do!

What are you working on upgrading?
