I didn't realize you were building a crew cab. Awesome work! Did you ever consider putting a window in, in between the doors instead of filling it with a metal filler plate?

 

I did consider it, and found pictures of 4 door COES with the little window and I didnt like it.

 

Going to be 2 wheel drive? What engine and transmission? Any plans to get it on the road this year?

 

Yes, 2wd. The truck had a 272 V-8 with the 4sp sycronized trans (shifter on the floor).

The driveline might get changed later, we will see how this engine goes first.

I doubt it will be completely road worthy this year, but we shall see.

 

So keeping it somewhat original for now.

Did they ever make that style as a crew cab?

 

Somewhat....lol

Ford never produced a 4 door back then.

The railroad had 3 door truck built by outside vendors, but never 4 doors.

 

3 door? Any pictures of those?

 

Do a search, their have been discusions on the 3 door trucks.

Good morning RI.

 

Good morning and have a productive hump day RI and Tom

 

I went to the F100 Supernationals last year and saw this 3 door.I'm towing my 56 to the show next month. You going?
Good luck with your project. Looks great!

 

Ive seen pictures of this truck. Never knew it was on a van chassis.

 

Good Morning All!
