Now THIS is the picture I’ve been searching for for two weeks. Thank you!! Now I can at least hammer in the correct direction.
Hey all! Revamping this old thread with basically the same question. I'm trying to remove the FRONT pin from my rear leaf spring mounts on my '59...
Bump!
Awesome, exactly the advice I was looking for!
I do! Actually just posted it on here: 1958 Ford F100 - sale or trade
Yeah, steering wheel will be the first thing to go. I don't mind the tires or stance, but I haven't seen it in person yet. Looks like there is...
Just moved out here from the west coast last month, and I'm coming to terms with the fact that I am probably going to need a newer truck since...
Hey guys, I'm considering trading my '58 F100 to this guy who has a '53 Ford Customline. The car is extremely clean and seems like it would be a...
Definitely subscribing!
Thanks guys!
I can't believe I forgot to take a picture of all of the rotted material cut out, but you get the idea from these two shots. I ended up using two...
Yeah they don't seem to have bed floors for my model. It's all good though, I'd just assume do it my way and add some strength in the process.
I might bang this out this weekend and just wing it...we'll see how the weather looks.
I hear what you're saying. If I had a better picture you could see that the leading edge is pretty rotted, which makes that whole front section...
Yeah I'd say that definitely looks stout!
Yeah that black one is real similar, but a lot prettier...yours? And yeah, I'm all about retaining its "truckness". It'll probably only ever...
[IMG] Not the best pic, but you might be able to see that the front is a little rotted. I considered getting a donor bed, but I think any bed...
A little bump action
Eh, I could. I grew up on Jeeps though so I'm a little sick of looking at diamond plate covering rot.
Going to do a basic patch for the front floor of my F100 bed and was curious to see what others have done. I was planning on going about 3" up the...
cool thanks guys
Yeah that's what I originally planned on (with monoleafs for the front) but I keep hearing that I'll be bottoming out too often.
Dang, I'm slippin'. Cool bike. I'm building this one right now: [IMG] Not a bad idea with those springs though. I'm curious to see what they...
Yup, I hear ya. I'm thinking about heading over to a local spring shop and having them reverse the eyes all around or maybe de-arching the springs...
Oh yeah, I've spent plenty of time pushing CBs...that's a nice 550 (right?) you got there. Realistically I'd have double that weight in there...
Hahaha what? It goes to a Photobucket album...
Exactly, I'm just driving it now. Letting things break and then fixing them! A long-term shakedown, if you will
Hey there, So I picked up this F100 a few weeks back and I've had lots of ideas going on in my head but each one has major pros and cons. Any...
Hahaha yup, read that one start to finish already!
Nice work! You're making short time of this too! Subscribed so I can learn from whatever mistakes you make!
