Alrighty ladies and gents as the title says I'm trying to do a full frame up resto on my old '64 F-100 before I have to go back to school in August (I know, tight deadline). I've been busting **** these past few months breakin down the old girl. Right now I've got her down to a rolling chassis and I'm in the process of sandblasting right now I have a rad support that should be here this week, I've got floor pans that will be welded in this week. Or next. Updates will come soon.

 

This is my Roxanne when I first got her in May of 2011. She's a 64 F-100 two wheel drive. She had a 292 Y block in her from the factory, that was swapped out for a 262 industrial with a 3 on the floor. Ford 9" laying the power to the pavement.

 

Her when I got home for summer

 

The ol' 262 getting a well deserved rocker assebly cleaning








A decent shot of the Holley 1904





Me explaining to my mom the plans of the tank relocation











Building the new frame to support the tank under the frame








RE setting the valve lash cause I'm an idiot and obviously didn't do it right the first time cause now it didn't wanna start and when I DID get it to start it sounded terrible

 

anybody know what this is? Found it in-line to the light switch. I'm assuming some kind of resistor?

 

That switch looks like a brake light switch to me.

 

The thing is, that nothing on that piece moves. That white shaft will rotate but it does not feel like it's supposed to

 

But it's not correct for 1966 and earlier, as the switch is located on the master cylinder.

This type is located on the brake pedal, it's either 1967 only, or 1968/79.

 

It was behind the gauge cluster

 

No such thing as original was located anywhere near the instrument cluster.

 

Nice wirk so far, ill be following along

 

Subscribing. Ya got your work cut out for ya Bud.

 

Welcome to FTE!

You've got some work ahead of you but, you're motivated and there's lots of advice and help available here too.

 

All that's left is can and disconnect remaining wiring





My beloved 262 lol





Rolling chassis ready to be blasted

 

Day one of blasting(yesterday) progress made? Zero. Reason for such failure? Damp sand. So I emptied it out and had to wait for the following day so I could go to tsc and pick up some DRY media
