I have noticed a larger following for the '48-'52 F100's here which is great but was wondering where are all the guys building the next generation? It is nice to see all the ideas for different years but still special when someone is working on your style of truck.
So if you have a 53-55 F100 lets start seeing some pics of your progress!!!!!

My 54 Build is a little different from most around here. I won't need a jack or jack stands to change my oil.

I see I'm not the only one who noticed this trend. It seems 2010 is the year of the 1951 and 1952. There hasn't been much of any '53-56 talk on here, relatively. At least not compared to about 3 years ago.

I've been driving mine to work for the past two weeks; didn't work today however I did go out cruising. I replaced the side glass & runners last month, I got to get the A/C recharged though I don't need it in this weather.

Well, I have an F-250. Do I count?

Mine is basically a frame at the moment.

Well lets hope that 2011 will bring all the owners of the Mid Fifties F100's out. I for one haven't been posting myself as I have just moved and actual was thinking of selling my 55 project but had no takers so in 2011 the build continues, even though I don't have much of a shop to work on it now.

I've got a lightly modified 55 that I'm working on but I haven't done a lot to it lately due to Xmas activities. I'll be getting back to it after the new year. I don't usually post much unless I've done something new to show.

Good to be able to look at your gallery..nice mods there! I take it you are some what of a bodyman based on the tools you have at your disposal? I ended up buying my box and roll pan..just seemed cheaper than acquiring all the tools to make them not that I could even if I had the tools!
Keep us posted!

I really envy you guys that have the drivers, this working on the trucks is real good but to have it on the road is just a dream right now with so much work to do. Good thing its an enjoyable hobby. Someone once told me its not the destination but the journey that counts. We will see if that's true!

I have a 55 I'm working on. (Hopefully) it'll be my daily driver - and first vehicle - sooner or later. Not exactly a progress picture, this is from the day I got it, we've done a bit since.


That's my first post over with.
