New here with My Fridge

This is my '57 F100 Panel that I'm just getting ready to rebuild. It has a '69 351 W with an FMX. I just picked up a 2006 CV PI front suspension for it today and will start installing it an a couple weeks. It's going to be built for cruisin' so I'll swap out the FMX for an AOD.

Thanks Everyone for the warm welcome!! This ol' panel is old and tired like me, but I'm hoping to give it new life this Winter. I used to have a '56 F100 that I built that I pulled my 13' '61 Forester camp trailer with. The '56 was totaled in a tornado in 2008 and this panel will be it's replacement. These panels really are a "Fridge".... lol

I almost bought a '58 panel in MT a couple years back. I regret it now.

I know of a '60 with trees growing up thru the engine bay. The ground is often wet under it so I'm sure there is only some parts left by now.

And yes Cobra, definately a "Walk-In"!

Yes Spurredon, I hope it will ride and drive like a new Crown Victoria!! Being out of a police interceptor it should handle very well. I'm too old to fight the steering and ride of these old trucks..
