Ok guys bumping this thread due to my never ending lust for my own truck hahaha in a couple more months I plan on selling my 1979 Trans Am to buy a 53-56 F100. Just wondering where most of you found your trucks or where you suggest I go. As of right now I plan on trying to find a good base for under $1500, thinking about an 03-07 Crown Vic to use for front and rear suspension plus whatever else i can salvage, and possibly putting a 302/AOD in it. All positive and negative inputs are welcomed! -Mike

Welcome to FTE, I found my truck on Kijiji Canada's version of CL. also try cruising around farm country those guys will fill the back 40 with every vehicle they ever owned. LOL. I guess it depends on how far you are willing to travel. Good luck and there is tons of info on this site.

If you are interested in a 56 f100 shortbed frame....and then get the sheetmetal and cab and drivetrain ,maybe I can help. Look in my gallery and look at the turquoise frame.

Alright everyone, I have officially started phase one of acquiring a truck! I put my Trans Am up on craigslist and I will be home from school in one week. Hopefully within the next couple weeks I can get my car sold and find a decent 53-55 f100.
