Technical new project

This my new project, a 1957 Ford F-100 panel truck. it is mostly all complete just missing rive train and rear axle mostly. It also needs a fuel tank. If anyone has suggestions as to what will fit or work I would appreciate it. I can't find any replacements. Here are a few pictures. My plan is a low dollar driver. It has a o/t front frame clip.

 

I have a buddy that would gladly add that to his stable.

 

74k cream puff

 

Looks nice but the hood and grill are not ‘57.

 

Non fuel inj suburban tank.

 

Are you going to build a "hippy wagon"?!

 

Looks like it's doin' a Hundred standin' still!

 

The basic truck is a 1957 with a 58 grill and a 60 hood.

 

20 gallon Mustang tank between the frame rails at the rear. Might have to move the rear crossmember back a little.
SPark

 

Got it loaded up and home today.

 

Looks straight and solid from here.

 

Great project ya got there. Does the boss (your wife) know about this?

small up date. it has a rear end(8.8 ford) and is on 4 wheels.

 

Cool . Wish you well .

 

Now get that angle iron rear bumper off...

 

That is one cool project.

 

front clip removed. now for clean up and fixing old questionable mods.

 

after a little clean up.

After starting on mine I was given the job of getting this '56 panel running and stopping after sitting for 38 years.

 

I like the former owner's fence. Nice truck too.

 

It looks pretty solid, what do you have in mind for an engine?

 

Cool.

 

I have a 302 ford and a aod for it.

 

What IFS is it running?
That looks to be a bonus and just ready for an engine...

 

It looks to be a mid '70 camaro with drum brake that I will change to disks.
