Welcome.I fabricated mine from a universal kit (option # 1) so I'm really not sure what is available from aftermarket suppliers (option # 2) but I am sure there are many, trans-dapt, classic haulers, try a Google / eBay search, I like the cross-member type better then the frame biscuits...

Welcome from “resume speed” British Columbia to the center of the known universe,……sorry about your football team! :rolling laugh:Rust, what’s a little rust, bring it on, helps with the patina / farm truck look. (anybody can paint a truck). :wasntme:A breathable cover would be OK, if your...

Thank you Tim……………..I very much looking forward to spring and doing some cruising! smiliepeelout

Well maybe I shouldn’t take all the credit, ....you dumb $$$$$ have been a big help, .........but I have not only successfully killed this post, I killed the whole thread.Good work Ray. :redface:

Of course, …….but it is only steel, ……… and nothing is going to be easy, ever! Get one with the hole and get an extra pickup one with the letters that you want and have a welder patch the hole with the new logo!:) Welcome to the old truck world, why would they, not enough demand, …..you got’a...

Is your truck not a f2 or f3, I think they have a bigger and wider box?

Yes Ryan I think that is correct.But…..I wanted a script one and found one that was for a 50 and earlier, the only difference is where the chains hook, and as I was taking the chains off it didn’t matter.I have the original 1951 block one for sale.Two places for more info...

:welcome:Welcome to the site, dave. when you get a sec maybe fill in your location code so we know where you are.....and oh, pictures, we like pictures.:post pics:Maybe shouldn't tell you this but this is what 3 years and a lot of money looks like! ;)

Hello, hello, Car 54 , where are you? (location code) :confused:Welcome to the site from B.C, :devil:

Welcome to the site.Your battery is dead or very low.

I’m on the road,……….and done.My door handles don’t droop! ( not a project for the faint of heart) The door art (decals) where done locally by a sign shop very inexpensively, extremely happy with the results.Some think the f1 has a manure spreader grill, not any more.A little...

No, it’s not a crate motor; actually it is the exact opposite. I horse traded for the car that it came out of many years ago (drove it home) and upon further checking I saw that it had a rebuilders tag on it so I took a chance (crap shoot) .....I just changed the timing chain and installed the...

I don’t know yet, I’m just finishing it up, (3 years) I will have to get back to you in a month or so. In the 12 or so trips up and down the driveway, it seems to ride nice but I have to say that one should not do test drives over 40 mph on a gravel road without a drivers door installed...

.....all and more then you ever wanted to know. :)http://www.kevinstang.com/Ninecase.htm

A little on the hot rod side and not so good for mileage…….. SO .............. darn near PERFECT I’d say!

I’m just a old thread highjacker so take this for what is worth (nothing) but maybe if you started a new thread with you questions rather then adding on to an old one you might get better response,………and then again you might not! :)

Oh…………….. do you think there would be any chance of teaching those bots to type so that I could have someone to talk to? (...just sayin' ):confused: :confused:

Yep,…thanks. Although this thread kind of reminds me of my old timers hockey team......…..not much action,………………. and not much sense whipping them either………you just can’t make that horse move. :) :)

So do you have any updates on the truck? No pressure. Did you get my PM in regards to front suspension options? :)Attention invisible visitors: Almost a 100 new viewers since yesterday with nothing to say, all must be well, huh? :wavey:

I must apologize to pwoudenberg, for high-jacking his thread, it was unintentional but still rude on my part.Thanks smokey, and I don't mean this negatively but with respect ..................considering the number of people who didn't post you have a lot of company. :)

Thank you for the reply, appreciated.Hum, if you think the project is ambitious, you should see what I’m trying to do with the doors, fool that I am. Without letting the cat out of the bag (future post) someone said you can’t do power door locks on a f1, oh yeah, yes you can if you have a...

Yes, I know what you mean, it kind of makes me seconded guess myself sometimes. I wonder if I’m posting the wrong thing or not interesting or just plain stupid but my super ego always comes to my rescue.:)Turns out my ability to kill threads can be useful, I have been carefully and quietly...

Boy, I sure know how to kill a thread, every time I post it just up and dies.I thought I was just trying to participate, ……sorry guys.:hammer:

Well ? have you finished that truck yet? What’s the hold up? And where are the pictures, come on man get with the project. Time’s a wasting. Next thing you know. Just like me, you will almost too old to do a much. (:wasntme: Welcome).Here is some incentive, enticement, motivation...

Hey Scott,F-1’s rule and come first ……..always! (said by someone that also has in the long term scheduling stage a 1953 Canadian Dodge WAGON that is actually really a Plymouth complete with Savoy fender badges and a dodge Rams Horn hood ornament, makes a Ford seem almost rational!)...

I hope that the pictures will show enough detail.In British Columbia we are required a front license plate, not that I used one on my last two cars, but on my patina (farm truck) rod project I decided to be legal for a change. This was the seconded attempt at recessing the plate mount in the...

Classic Haulers (a division of Mid Fifty F-100 Parts) is probably your best choice for quality at a fair price.Yep, spray undercoating or sound deadener if there is room or……… home made “lizard skin” (tm), …………brush on box liner mixed with fiberglass micro-spheres, stinks while drying, but...

Thanks all,Yes mtflat, you are big time right about lower rad hose or fenders!As you can see the 460 fills the hole and with the rad spaced forward and the A/C condenser things get a little tight quickly. I’m getting one bolt done per half day so some progress is happening. :headbang:
