I got a phone call the other day from a guy who has a 63 F100 2wd. He said he talked to someone and heard I had wrecked mine. Well he called and said he took it apart to restore and has the frame sand blasted and painted and the rest needs to be painted and put together. Well I did not realize that when he said it is taken apart he meant if is completely disassembled. As in disassembled!!!!!! So I went and looked at it and was not sure if I wanted to go through all that work again but the truck was in incredible shape as in no rust or dents. Plus the hood is in great shape. He also has a Ford reman 292. I decided to take the plunge and assemble a pickup. The thing I like about this project is I can build it the way I want. I am looking at Mustang II front ends and 4 linke rear coil spring kit for my 9in rear diff. Does anynone have any suggestions or comments on were to get the front end parts, I found a couple of places that have the stuff for these old fords. I am planning on lowering the truck at least 2in. It came with a 8.8in limited slip rear diff but I am going to install the 9in built rear diff from the truck I wrecked. We are planning on supercharging this truck to mix it up instead of the turbos. Want to give it the sweet supercharger wine. Hear are some pics of the work I have ahead of me. This will be a few year project but will be fun sharing it with you guys.




Box, hood and grille are in great shape.


Just needs to be put together he said!!!!Smile


I think I might two tone it blue and white like my first 62 Ford.

This y-block is going to get Johnny's heads. Might have to put them on lay-a-waySmile

Anyone know anything about this block? I am assuming it is a 59 block, I was hoping it would be a late model block like my twin turboed one but don't think it is.
