Just finished Big Blue 56' F-100

This was a truck we got that had been sitting since 1974 when the rear u-joint went out and they gave up on it. We picked it up and put it back together. Original big window, 272, Fordomatic Custom Cab. Has the factory radio that still works. It was completely stripped to bare metal. I'll post more pictures as I dig them out. It will be at Del Mar Good-Guys tomorrow.

Engine picture. I couldn't do the yellow motor. It has some soft modifications to enhance the overall project.

I saw that truck at Del Mar yesterday...didn't know that it was yours. You see so many nice trucks at these shows that after awhile they all start to run together.
