Now all I need to come up with is the 4 spoke steeting wheel. Ill post more as I sacrifice more parts for the 63. As much dirt as this truck has up under the seat Id say it was on the farm most of its working life. It is a 4 speed truck and the rt side floorboard is in nice enough shape it can be cut out and put in the 63 cab to bring it back to what it should be originally. Battery should be under the floor on the rt side. Inner fenders are the correct for the four wheel drive. the front valance is in great shape too slight dent but other wise slight surface rust radiator support looks to be rust free only surface rust from the looks of it. Rear cab corners look intack to Ill know more about those later.

 

Looks like you got yourself a good donor there! Looks like you also got yourself a good start at a moss farm in the box!

Looks like you are going to have a good amount of parts you can use on your truck and quite a few you could sell. If that has the 9" rear you should be able to sell that off to one of the 53-56 F100 guys.

 

That rear gear is already spoken for. This truck has wheels on it ive never seen before. they are 15" innies compression ring or splits. I didnt know they made them in 15".

 

15 " split wheel innie ford

 

I've never seen a 5 lug 15" in that style rim. I've seen plenty of them in the 8 lug 16".

 

Im going to save the wheels too. Someone may have an interest in them some day.

 

Nice Build up pictures .. Congrats on your Truck !

 

Thanks Scott shes a keeper had her to long now to call it quits. Fordman says he has fun doing his I would have to say the same. I have a pic in my minds eye on how this truck will look. Im working towards that goal.

 

thats a nice truck yours aand your donor. lookin foward to see more pics

 

Thanks Justin your 60 looks like a nice find. Id like to find a swb f100 in the same year and same shape as my next project.

 

id like to have a 1960 panel parked rite next to my truck

 

Looks good...Wish I had the knowledge to restore an old truck like that!!

 

Hey Eatonpcat I just try to learn alot as I go. Been working on cars and trucks since I was in my teens and before. I see your from Ohio so am I. I grew up in a town called Lorain. It was a big Ford town and it was during the muscle care era. If you werent chasing girls you were working on cars or going to the drags. Guess Im still doing some of that.

 

Oh and drinking beer.
