Lets see your truck RIGHT now
#2162
My 1949 F-1. Just got the front suspension back together after functional and cosmetic rebuild. It has a 1983 El Camino IFS done by prior owner.
It it moves, it is new. Steering box rebuilt by Benchworks of Scottsdale, AZ.
I have parked it for a while as I have 2 SN95 Mustangs to finish and sell. I also will be freshening the trucks 1992 5.0L roller motor and converting it back to EFI as well as getting the AOD rebuilt.
Worst part of this tear-down is that it started to just freshen a few things and get a VIN inspection (required here in NV), but as I took it apart I just finding things that were not done right by PO or that needed attention. So it has turned into a much bigger project on what was a sweet running F-1. (Exple: note the home made trans cross-member in the top photo, will be replaced by a unit from Chassis Engineering.)
