Shaved drip rails, filled seams, rounded door corners, there are a lot of cool little details.

The seat looks great. Like Big Window said, this truck is gonna be nice!

Bjorn, I really like your truck, always have. I would ask you to look at my thread "Who are the real Ford Guys" and take a minute to post on it. I need a lot of info and you are one of the guys I need. Thanks FF56

Just finished reading the throw the thread Bjorn you did a great job I really enjoyed reading about it and learned a lot thank you
I am currently working on my 56 F100 front end installing Mustang II ISF and faced lots of problems with engine clearance and other issues with the kit like the supplied measurements for the kit didn't work for my truck and I'm still struggling with the supplier ( Johnny law motors) so I really like to know how did it go with you with the XJ front end? Also I'd like to know the length of the steering column you used ( a link if possible )?
Like you I shipped the truck from the Stats to Bahrain
I wish you all the best in your build

Sorry yu are having problems with your Johnny Law IFS kit. Johnny Law is one of a list of suppliers all under the Hoffman group ownership. (google Hoffman Group companies complaints) They are noted for selling cheaply made, low quality clone parts. You would be far better served in the future by purchasing US made parts from reputable suppliers like Mid Fifity Home - Mid Fifty F-100 Parts that ship overseas, even though they may cost a little more. In the case of Hoffman Group companies especially, you definitely get what you pay for.

Don't be surprised if the JL springs sag after they have a load on them for a little while.
Mid Fifty lists a couple different lower shock mounts depending on what rear axle you are using. You can read thru their catalog or even download it on their website, but you will still want a print copy as well (they include one in every order or send them out for free). It has a lot of valuable and useful information and drawings to help you in your build.

If you want OEM shock mounts, there is a member on here: bigwin56f100 that specializes in used 56 parts.

Thanks for your help AXracer I'm in the process of ordering it from Mid fifty along with other stuff. As for the springs I'm so worried about the hole kit but I paid for it and had it shipped also I had to order another cross member and top hats because I removed the first one do to wrong instructions and measurements I hope it work this time
