My Grandfathers 1960 F100
[IMG][/IMG]Here is the start to the rebuilding of my Grandfathers 1960 F100. It has been totally taken apart, I am going to mock the entire chassis up, then disassemble it for painting. I am going to take the front suspension out and install a Crown Vic front suspension. Then I am going to install the 4.6 DOHC engine and transmission, and finally install the Mark VIII rear suspension, including setting the axle/transmission angles. I have been waiting a long time and am excited to finally get started. I have been motivated by many of you, so for that I say thanks.

Saturday I got the old suspension out, Sunday afternoon I got the crown vic suspension in position. I still have to make my spacers for the bolts, but everything is even and square believe it or not. I hope to get my spacers and my marauder motor mounts next week, then I will set the engine and transmission in place. Slow, but at least making progress.

The engine, transmission, and rear suspension are out of the Mark VIII, I have the Marauder motor mounts ordered, should be here anytime. I kept the fuel tank for the 2 speed fuel pump, I am going to try to use it in a Mustang fuel tank. If the weather cooperates, I am going to try to set the engine and transmission in place this weekend. I will post more pictures as I go of the mock up.

Well the rain held me up this weekend, but I did finally receive the Marauder motor mounts yesterday. I got the bar stock to make spacers for the axle, and the round bar to make the spacers for the frame rails. I will be doing this, and hopefully set the engine and transmission into position this weekend. Thanks for all the encouragement.
