Just me again......

Since we moved, I guess I will start another old truck thread. Maybe bob will join us soon.

He is my baby. 1956 F-100 (almost completely stock), 272 Y-Block V8, and a 3 speed on the column.

I know you mentioned on another site, :puke:

which shall remain nameless, that you had plans for this truck and were kinda disappointed in it currently, but this is an AWESOME truck just the way it is!! :beer:

Brian_B · Jan 27, 2007

No...I am not disappointed in it. It is a sweet truck. She runs great!

I just ended up with some major health issues this summer and fall and can't work on it. It deserves more than I can currently do with my budget and health.

someday........WooHoo

I can't tell you how cool your truck is, Brian. I'd love to be able to park something like that somewhere and wrench on it...

Brian - finally made it over to the new site. Little late but made the jump. I'll try to get some better pics posted of my truck. I've got a bunch on my hard drive but need to set up some type of web page to host them. I'll say it again your truck is very cool. The restored/original trucks seem to draw the most attention where ever they go and yours is a gem!!!

Bob, I have a ton of pictures hosted on photobucket. It is free. Can't beat the price. Its not a website, but for pictures it works well. You (or anyone) can scroll through them.

Thank you. I wanted a street rod, but this one is to nice to hack up. It runs well, I just need to do some brake work.

I mentioned in the last post that I originally wanted a hotrod. My intention was to find a solid body and add a 5.0 H.O., AOD, and a 9", IFS.

However, I found a really solid original truck.

Here is the 272 Y-block that it came with.

My plan was still do hack it up until i went to the supernationals last year. I only saw 4 Y-blocks and 4 or 5 flatheads. That is out of what...maybe 1,500 trucks?

Mine is completely different, just by staying the same.

Here is what I wish my engine to looked like though:
