About 3 months ago, I managed to sell my foxbody roller and acquired a '55 F100. It had the 3 spd on the column and a 292 under the hood, not the original engine. I haven't had much time to play with it, but have big plans for it. I managed to swap the 292 for a 9" rear. Its also going to get an '03 crown vic IFS, a 347 stroker, and c4 or c6 trans. Theme of the truck will be purple heart oriented. I'll try to show progress on here as much as I can. I'm new to the F100 world though, and am still open to suggestions and advice. Thanks all.

 

Seem to be on right track. Keep posted on progress.

 

Welcome Aboard Sapper! Post some pics when you get a chance
so we can see what you are starting with. Why did you choose a 347 stroker as your engine choice?
Where did you find your truck?

Sounds like fun over there in Pennsylvania.

Welcome to FTE the best Ford truck forum on the world wide web!

Where in PA are you ?

 

Emporium

, PA is where the truck is right now. I went with the 347 because I already had it. Took it out of my foxbody.

 

Looks like you've got the big parts!

 

I'm looking forward to watching your build. Be sure to post plenty of pictures.

 

It'll be a little while before I get too many updates on here. Military service has taken me to Virginia and the truck stayed in PA. Currently searching bone yards for a crown vic.

 

I live in Lock Haven.

 

Wow! Small world! Good to meet you!

 

Yes, you are just up Route 120.
