I have been Jonezin for a 57-60 F-100 for a while and I went to OKC to get a 1957 short wide today and I am stoked ! I have built it 3 times on the way home today but will definately going to seek everyones thoughts and help as I begin this project
Man I love it. I just bought a 57 f100 too and I love driving it. In fact it's my daily. It's got a 351 Cleveland and was clipped with a 73-77 chevelle. Rear axle flipped and frame c notched. Power steering, brakes and a/c. I wish I had the chrome grill. Mine is painted but I think that's gonna change shortly. Good luck with your project.
sweet you got one w the chrome grille and headlight brows! great start! I've had one for over ten years, perpetual project. Have had parts trucks along the way for it, let me know what yer looking for (when you reach that point). congrats on the score!
You need to throw that thing on the photoshop thread and get your game plan in hand. Congrats on an excellent foundation of making me jealous!
DAMN! that has $1200 on the window ive been looking for somthing like that for awhile. and it has a motor in it! that was a good deal.
Good truck! Got one myself years ago. Working on punching out the oil and gen idiot lights and replacing with oil and amps gauges from a 61 Furd F-100. Also going to drop 368 Lincoln Y and dual range hydramatic in mine, sometime in the next 10 years. Left front fender near door rots out quickly. Have to install patch panel. Fortunately LMC truck carries them and they are up in KC.
And excited you should be.....what a great project !! Good for you. Now be sure to keep us in the loop on your progress, as you enjoy driving it.. Cheers........
check out those front outriggers that the cab mounts to,mine were rotted out and full of dirt,nice find for the money ha the pics just loaded,yours are too
I call mine the PUSH TRUCK. They make great Push trucks/cars for starting up those old dragsters. Just hang an old tire on the front, or remove the bumper and put a 2x12 on.
Nice! Welcome to the fridge club. I love these trucks. I have a 1960. Check out the mooneyes push truck if you plan to go that route. Come on over to the 57-60 group on here too! Congrats!
My favorite F100 year! Nice score man!! I'm gonna sell or trade my 66' chevy shrtbox for one of these someday soon. That price on the window is mighty fine!
Doesn't look like much has changed but I have an overhauled transmission and new clutch. The good news I can now drive it !
Worked on cleaning out the 57 today and I found some rust in the bed and body mounts but I still love the truck
