Hi Jesper

Nice to see a fellow F100 Scandinavian trucker here.

What parts do you have? I have some leftovers as well.

If you have Facebook, make sure you check out our " Scandinavian f1/F100 club" we are atleast 30 truckowners and about 10-15 other ones that wants a truck over at that group.

Best regards Jimmy

 

Thank you Jimmy.
Sorry I don't have facebook,
I have some front steering parts, brake drums, vent windows, hood hinges, mirrors, window cranks, door handled and small bits and pieces for the 53-56.

That's no problem Jesper, a couple of us is over here aswell.

I belive all the parts you have I already have.

But I have some front and rear sway bar kit from CPP up for sale never used.
I also have a brand new front bumper stainless steel from Dennis carpenter up for sale.
Also some brand new side window divider bar and anti rattle kit up for sale

If you're interested

 

Thanks Jimmy.
I don't need anything for the moment or in swedish "Prylar går sönder förr eller senare, senare vore trevligt som omväxling."

So what truck do you have?

Pictures is always welcomed!!!

 

Here is my project.<br/>/Jesper

 

Nice!!

Have you owned it for a long time or just recently bought it?

Here is how mine looked like when I decided to take it appart:

DinnerHill SpeedShop: Before Pictures

I am aiming for a stockish resto. Kevin Samarigan aka Bigwin56F100 on this forum has a truck that is pretty close to what I want when I am done

Check that truck out on this page, His name is under the pictures, a red one

DinnerHill SpeedShop: Original Color Codes

 

I have had it for 25 years. I have resored it 23 years ago but never got it running so it has been parked at my parents house until last year when I finally got a garage.
/Jesper.

 

WOW 25 years!!! You know it inside out

 

Yes I took apart it to the bare frame and restored every piece of the truck, replaced the stock rear fenders with 3" wider ones.
Rebuildt the chevy 350 engine, and made my own like original power steering.
Now I'm going to replace the stock front suspension and install a -04 crown vic IFS with power steering and change the engine and trans to ford.
My truck was black when it left the factory in long beach in 1956 according to the vin tag.
I have now for many years collected the hard to find parts needed to complete the truck.
When I started restoring it 25 years ago there was no internet to search for parts and find information about the truck, I had to buy american magazines to find parts ask friends going overseas to buy the parts for my truck.
So now I'm better prepared to do a proper rebuild of my truck.
You seem to have many tips on your web page.
How far are you in your build?
/Jesper

 

Hey Jesper,
You also have what looks like an 80's Oldsmobile Cutlass in the background of your truck pic?

Looking good over there in Sweden!
