Hi everyone,
just joined this great forum, looks like a lot of like minded people into old Ford trucks just like me........

I live in Northen Rivers, NSW Australia and i have a 49 F6 COE and a 56 F100 Panel.
Plans for the COE are all Toyota running gear, i have already parted out a V8 lexus as a donor car. Guys check out a Soarer IFS when you get a chance, looks almost perfect into a mid fifties F100.
I will post some pics as i progress.

cheers from downunder John

Australian version of the Lexus SC300. Maybe "SC" stands for Soarer Coupe.

Welcome aboard, sounds like two great projects. I like those COE's but I'm particularely interested in your panel as that's what I'm into at the moment. Glad you decided to join us.
