History '53-'56 F100 Customs

Front & backs are 8 inches wide with 4.25 inches backspacing.
Rims are no longer available, discontinued in 2007.
Low sales, rims were too heavy in that size.

 

the new paint looks even better

 

Youre a lucky man, would love to see a thread on it if your building it. I just finished a '56 and about to hop onto a '54.

 

Will definitely be a build up thread.

 

How about some mild 60s style customs?

 

Always loved your 56. Change it back.... Please!!!!

 

actually drove mine today for the first time ,,,,

 

This thread needs a bump! Wild flames by Walt Prey, I think. Please correct if I'm wrong.

 

Someone needs to build this Steve Stanford concept:

 

haha I would if I wasn't so far into mine , and it didn't have those rear fenders

 

I was thinking this thread would be huge, I know the F100s were really popular.

 

Yeah I agree! I was hoping and expecting to see more. C'mon HAMB let's see some more!

 

From the excellent Rocket's Hot Rod Garage GG Spokane 2014 pics.

 

Gawd I love these trucks! My pops ran in a club in the 70's that was strictly F100's. Wish I could scan some of the pics from back then. That red 56 with the quad headlights is great!

 

Here's mine, home built 25 years ago and still going strong.

 

Midnightpumpkin, a bed cover with wood side boards, got a picture of the bed?

 

Here's mine when I rolled it out of a barn in May


and where I'm at so far:

 

The picture with the open bed was taken in 1991, the one with the tonneau cover is current.
There are lots more pictures of the pre-build and build here

Grabowski's.
Note that the hood peak has been removed.

 

Beautiful truck!! One of the very first models I built was Revell's '56 Ford F-100 and I painted it the very same color as yours....Testor's Ruby Red Metalflake. Naturally as a second grader, my paint did not turn out near as nice as yours, but I have always had a soft spot for '56's ever since.

 

Very unique, I like it. In fact, there is just something about your truck that reminds me of mine.

 

wish I knew how to post pics, Id put my mild custom 53 on here
lets see some more.
cheers

Here's mine. It's a 30-footer. Looks real good from 30 feet away.

 

Me too this has always been one truck that I like a lot and in this livery it is about as perfect as it will ever be.

nothing to ad just checking in.

 

My '56 with my self contained teardrop, yes it raises up.

 

Sorry guys, I just realized I hadn't updated this thread in some time. The truck is finished, except for working out a couple small bugs. It's maiden voyage was on March 19, to the Assorted Nuts cookout. Here's how it turned out.













Had a blast building this one. Thanks for looking.

 

Very nice job! I think I need one of these trucks......
