I say that aborting and doing a go around makes a rather good pilot.

Here's my '58 F-100 Before and during the CV IFS swap. It still isn't running again but I'm workin on it. And yes I realize the wrong hood is on it. I haven't tried to round up a '58 hood yet. Time and money won't allow. I have a goal of getting it running and driving great before I attempt to beautify her.

Here's an update of mine. Bolted on the chrome grille, restored the head and turn light buckets, and got a different trans floor cover..

The overall shape of the grills are similar but the '58 has smaller openings. In fact the '58 has 48 rectangular holes and the '59 only has 16. Google up yourself a few pics and you will see what I mean. The '58 is a beautiful truck! Oh yeah, so is the '57, '59 and the '60!

OK for most of you simple questions but for me not so clear. Are all the cabs from '57-'60 the same with exception of big back window and small back window? How difficult is it to find a big back window cab? Are all the fenders the same? I see some small differences in the hoods. I am starting to go shopping. I want to build "Chero" in real life.

Mine's a Ford when it's coming towards you and a Mercury once I pass you. That would have to be downhill with a 223, 411s and 33s.......I have such a great merc tailgate I thought I'd try for the merc stuff up front.
