Hi guys, I recently got a 63' F-100 Styleside shortbed. I've never really been that into fords so I could use some help. I grew up with chevys, and would oten take OEM parts from one vehicle to improve on another. I would like to do the same and budget build with junkyard take offs if possible.
As it sits, My F-100 is a stock 223 with a fresh rebuild. 3.03 column shift with 4:11 gears. I want to make it a nice semi-daily driver. I've found a Hurst floor shifter to make life a bit more normal so far. The brakes are currently shot (lines rusted out) and I would like to upgrade if possible to power disc while I'm there. I's also like to switch to a more highway friendly gearing (3.00 or 3.25 maybe). Any help you can provide with year and modelfor swaps would be great, I would like to lower eventually, but I'll wait till later to worry about suspension. Thanks
