1960 f100 mod/restore

Hey everybody this is my first day. My dad has an old 60 f100 that he has been meaning to complete and never got to it. So he gave it to me. I was not interested at first but am at a point where I can restore one now. I just wanted to let you guys know I am at the beginning and what ever pointers or wisdom you have I would be grateful for.

I want to go mostly custom, leather interior V8 thinking 302 with performance tranny. It has the 6 in it now. Body is mostly good.

Anyways glad to be here I am on some other forums and have always learned a lot.


Have a good one. oh and i have added a starting pic. to keep me honost and motivated. LOL

You may end up changing your build a few times; they do evolve.

You can load them into a gallery or album and use the forum codes. There is a lot of members that use photobucket. You just have to remember to size them to the size limits to load them to your gallery. There is a sticky explaining how to go about it if you can't figure it out. Here's the link

Nice ,clean looking truck. You have a good base to start from. Thanks for posting up the pics.I noticed you didn't start a gallery, if you are using photobucket or whatever you could post the link in your signature so everyone can go check it out.
