Hello, all. Mike in Kentucky here. Hoping to learn and share some good info. Currently attempting to build a '62 F100 for my son.

Welcome to FTF Mike
Is the '62 a Custom Cab?

 

[hendrixfan]

It has custom cab emblems but I haven't taken the time to determine if they're real, so I can't say for sure.

Not a unibody. Here are a few pics. The first is how she looked when I got her. The other 2 are in various stages of the swap...that's an '03 CV front cradle and a '99 Explorer rear. The wheels are 18's I got from a Mustang, but I'm already thinking they need to be bigger. I picked up a motor and tranny from an '06 CV Interceptor. The computer and all sensors and wiring from the engine bay are intact and still connected to the engine. I came here looking for tips on how to get the motor to run in the truck. Is it as simple as running power to the computer? Anyone familiar with this task?

This isn't working out like I planned..lol... Disregard the order given. You should be able to tell what's what though.
