It's a MII kit with big brakes, PS and and new Leaf Spring Kit in the rear. The rear is a little stiff, It really needs a sway bar. Not too high, not too low. I need to pick a color for the wheels. I like how easily you change the looks of these trucks. I'd like 4-5 sets Caddy caps / Moon discs / black steelies all with white walls, or Torque thrusts.
If you live close don't forget to go here. http://f100supernationals.com/ Heck you dont even have to live close. Several guys drove from CA last year. We'll be there! Later, Bill
No show truck, but sat right and looked great from 10 feet. This was a daily driver for the better part of 10 years. Made more then its fair share of dump runs. Even made a couple trips to sunny Florida and back.
I notice a lot of the chops are out of proportion with a large area between the drain lip and top of the windshield .I think ,myself,that the screen needs to be larger at the top. To even things up a bit . I took this pic about 33 years ago and sort of illustrates what I mean .It gives a lighter look to the top of the cab. I think the windshield is from the rear of something else .
Hey Mercmad Is that the old Croyden Thompson 56? That brings back memories . Thanks i see what your talking about the roof chop.
It sure is...Croydon had sold it quite some time before I took the pic, still had those mad wheels on the back though...happy days Eh?
Mines a work in progress here it is before I ripped the crappy flatbed off Here is the wood I have just finished for the bed and I now have to take the plunge and attempted my first body work welding
The truck has a RBs Mustang II crossmember w/ 2" drop spindles. Back is reverse eye springs, every other leaf removed, and all 4 hangers flipped. Sat right, rode right. Later, Bill
In 1966 while in the service in Albuquerque NM I had a custom 53F100, Green with a droped front axle, wide rear tires, with a 55 Old's engine and trans. Had to sell it, blew the engine, to a civillan on the base, he was going to put a Flathead back in it at the time. Like to see that darn truck, I don't have any pictures of it!
I saw this truck at the GNRS this year. I've also seen it at Del Mar Goodguys. Does anyone know if this guy is on the HAMB? I like how simple this truck is.
