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, 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!!

 

[Brian_B]

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:
