Man, it's been a long time coming, but, it's running and driving. Took it out this weekend. Drives great, need dropped spindles though. Thanks to alot of friends, namely, the guys at Industrial Chassis, El Polacko, and Safari55, Chris, Sandy, Mike the Cleaner, my crazy uncle Mark, Bernie etc. etc. It's nice to have friends. I'm taking it to the Striper's party this next weekend. Started up, first try, last weekend. Water pump, fuel pump and radiator all leaked. Replaced them this last week and everything seems to work well. I'm stoked.
She sho' sits right, Jimmy. I dig the WWWs on the Americans, too. What are your plans for the grille center?
Nice piece. Those trucks look so good on the ground. I don't recall the drawing ,but I'm sure it's way cool, as is the truck.
Jeez....That makes mine look like a 4x4.... Where did you get the dropped I Beams? I had found them a while back through an outfit called Godfathers, but I guess they have went out of business because I can't find their website anymore.
Thanks HAMB'rs [ QUOTE ] She sho' sits right, Jimmy. I dig the WWWs on the Americans, too. What are your plans for the grille center? [/ QUOTE ] Bass, it's been done to death, cliche, etc., etc. but a big fat Moon tank will reside in the center of the grille cavity.
Good looking truck,always did like that body style.Go ahead with the Moon tank,even though it's been done,it'll look cool as hell on your truck.
Very cool, I got one similar in progress, and as soon as I can figger out how to post pics i will. What did u use for suspension under that? I used a z28 clip but it doesnt seem to be quite that low.
Allright Jeem! Man, your truck looks bitchin'. Crazy thing is, the last time I saw that truck, it was only half a truck sittin' over at ElPolacko's. Man what a difference. Fucking cool!
Jeem that's Awlsome Dude!!!!! I love the Econoline headlight setups and slammed on the ground and the moon tank in the grill will set it off, It doesnt get any better than that!!!!
Jeem, you did good with that one. Being a chevy truck guy I must say when I see the 60's Ford's done up like you have it makes it want one. Very cool
Dude, Moon tanks in F-100 grille cavities haven't been done to death now have they? I know I've never seen it before, and I think it'll be perfect. You never cease to amaze me Mr. Jeem.
Awesome and nicely planned out man! That truck is got one killer look to it. I love the look of the grill treatment but also like what 4t64rd as well!..Cant wait to see it w/all of the finishing touches. Please post more pics Dirty
It has the dreaded Volare and I need some dropped spindles so I can screw in some more suspension. Don't worry, I got plenty of shit from Stevie El Polacko for it. I'm looking forward to driving it more. Dr. J is right concering the WWWs (they were pretty much out by the early 60's) but who cares?! I like the look. BTW it's a '64
