Greetings! Long time gearhead and car guy with more projects sitting around than I will probably ever finish. Recently picked up a '53 and '63 F100 because they were too good a deal to pass up(like all my other projects). Love to make things work and love the "different" stuff...look forward to enjoying and participating in this group.
Good to meet ya from another 'new guy' to the forum! Be careful it's addicting! Love the older F100's, got any pics? Bryson
Sure, here is a shot of the '53 as I found it in a field 2 weeks ago...still has the flathead in it and it's not locked up. Missing a couple pieces but nothing major and it's a solid truck. The '63 is also a solid truck...pic taken once I got it back to the shop and the tires aired up...it was in the same field.
Both solid looking trucks, gonna be hard to decide which one to start on first, looks to be more good stuff in the field you found them in. Welcome to the HAMB. Henrietta the '38 Ford pickup and Ozelle the '55 Ford send friendly horn honks to you and your F-100's.
View attachment 05-23-10_141.jpg yes sir .. welcome, I'm from bama too. And I like the old ford trucks too.
Welcome from Indy......no doubt both will be FoMoCo powered? You know, the engine that has the distribuator in the front? The way God intended
Welcome from the guy in Bama that just brokered the deal with you to buy the '53!! Thanks again Paul! Oh and Roll Tide!!
