nice work - that is one clean looking truck.

 

Good looking truck man. I've got a 57 f-100 with a tired 223 that will get replaced soon with a 300 6 cyl got to keep it inline you should check out the inline motors group http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/group.php?groupid=76

 

I have a '62 uni-body shortbed, original wimbledon white, 223c.i. & 4 speed. Dropped with monoleaf springs, red steelies & '48 caps, big & little "BFG'S, with a black tonneau cover on the bed. I've been driving the piss out of it for 10 yrs. and it's been a great old hot rod truck!

 

love it. I have a 65 fleetside with a 352 and 66 stepside with a 240 6. Love the six in your truck. Too many people yank those things
