Features 1959-60 Ford F100 Pics?

Wish I owned a Ranch...

 

nice!

 

Thanks guys, there's a price to pay, but I'm trying. Having fun with these trucks. I think there are some believers out there now !!

 

CJ, is that you 57 up front?

 

Very nice roundup you've got there CJ!

 

I owned the brownish 57 a couple of years back. Ended up with BigT over in riverbank where he turned it into the red velvet. The black 57 Cahlupa went to the south ( EriktheChef ) and the red 60 went to 2Brothers in the midwest. Driving the white hillbilly original paint keeper ( adding full caps - hudson or olds ) and putting some upholstery in the panel !! May end up selling the panel as it is too nice for the intended use. Need a little more of a beater for delivering eggs to markets.

 

That white 59 is awesome! IS it clipped?

 

Straight axle from Sid - 3" drop, reverse eye spring, removed a leaf. Might have been 2 ??? Bumper in and down a bit. Rides nice, drives straight. BigT in Riverbank banged it together.

 

Tim is almost done with mine. Just dropped off my seat to get upholstered. Getting close.

 

I can't look at this truck enough, everything about it is so right!

 

AWESOME! I can't wait to get an axle for mine What did you do int he back??

 

hotrod1959 just did a photo threads showing the steps to lowering his truck. Mine went through the same process. visit 57-60 Ford F100s thread by 100%Matt. Also some good ideas at www.1959f100.com

Looks great! I met Tim at the exhaust shop when I was having my '60 done...turns out we both live in Riverbank, small world!

Do you know how much he tucked the bumper in (and lowered it)? Been on my to-do list for a while.

 

buoght this one cuz i had to have it ,threw it together my wife stole it and its her driver.

 

I believe I tucked mine 3".

Later,Bill

 

Yes I think it was 3" I don't think he lowered the bumper. Just cut the horns and re-drilled the mounting holes. I should be there next week if you are around the house PM me your number....I want to see Earl.

I tucked my bumper 2.75 inches.

 

I absolutely love your truck! awesome

 

So today I was scouting through Craigslist and saw these wheels for sale. They were Ford pickup patteren so I figured I should get em. I am not a huge fan of Cragars, but these are SUPER nice and had nice new tires, caps and lug nuts for 200.00!! So what the hell right Beats the shot tires that were on it! I got the ol girl on the road and LOVE driving it!









This is what she looked like before the tire/wheel change

 

Sweet! Nice score! Picture of CJmacs 59 with new look Olds hubcaps.

 

Thanks! I dought the Cragars will stay on it, but will work until I get it lowered a little

 

And I doubt you'll have any trouble reselling the Cragars when you want to...

 

Wheels look real good, now you just need to drop that thing, get it sitting at a respectable height, LOL.

 

Here is a shot of my 59 work in progress. I love this thread. Very inspiring.

 

Here's the new 60 I picked up a couple weeks ago. Very very straight, no rust holes anywhere....Lots of work to do, but I'll get after it...!!!

 

Lookin' good. Goin' from one F100 site to the next. The fun never ends.

 

F100 gas tank hole filler. Save some body work. Went a little striping wild.

 

Heres one of mine. This was running when we parked it 35 years ago. I also have a 57 Stepside that is in worse shape.

 

Whoa! That is awesome, how did you make that? The pinstriping is awesome to.
