Beautiful work! A great looking truck and I bet fun to drive. Thanks for the video and for the hood idea.

 

Saw Mike's truck at a show in Payson AZ yesterday. Beautiful!! I'm not the only one who thought so, he won 3 or 4 trophies. Congratulations mike!!

 

Youtube revised movie.


Thanks Mike for the post. Great show at the Mazatzal Hotel & Casino with 249 vehicles that over flowed the parking lot.

 

Thanks for updating your build thread. I always liked that your truck built in a home garage. You have every aspect of modification covered from tilt hood to chopping. this thread covers so many fabs how can you help but love it!

 

I also think this is one my favorite builds lots of pic, and I copied a lot of stuff
g
I am so glade that you fixed the PB problem

 

You did a great build on that truck, the chop is perfect and very well accented with the additions. Great choices! Once again job well done

 

On your gas tank, since we have the same I believe, what did you do for your sending unit? The only difference is i have that stock flathead in mine and not sure what to do, my research has only lead me so far. Thank you.

 

I have a gas tank out of Jeep Cherokee not the original Ford behind the seat. I installed the Dakota Digital VHX guages. The 2 wires from the existing fuel sending unit can be used and are connected, as the manual states, different ohms settings to match your tank. You can use the settings based on the standard tanks they list. Check Dakota digital Manual for this application.

 

A BIG thank you to Bed Wood & Parts for posting my F1 on their Facebook page. ( https://www.facebook.com/BedWood/ ) 10/8/2018

 

Your truck is still a work of art! Hope your having fun with both of those rides!

 

Basha's Cruise-In Friday evenings
Thanks for the comment. I am usually at the following Cruise-in's every weekend with my F1: Saturday at "K-Mart" (closed) located at E. Hampton Ave and S. Power in Mesa and Friday at Basha's located on E. Apache Trail in Apache Junction. Stop buy and check out all the cool rides.

48Steel,
Just awesome work! Enjoyed the entire thread! Great pictures of your work in progress, as you built this sweet truck!
Regards,
Chris

 

48 Steel, Next time I'm in the valley on the weekend I will come look for you. I've been up in Dewey-Humboldt most of this last month and also in Oct.

 

Can you tell me how you had the glass fitted for the truck? In all the chop stuff I've read, no one ever mentions how the glass is done.

 

Go to Home Depot and buy some White board. Trace your opening and cut the white board to fit. I did that method for all the windows except the rear which is stock.
Something else to consider when going the full window route is the wing window. The new one piece window may drop out of track where the wing window was removed. This is the way I added a track for the "new" window to follow.
