'56 F100

Hey everyone, new member here.

Just purchased a '56 F100 and I'm looking for any/all advice I can get. All in all, the truck is in pretty good shape, here are some specs:

Sanderson headers, Haywire Pro-T wiring system, Siemens VDO Gauges, MSD Ignition, Master Power Brake Booster, 351 Windsor, Ford 9 inch rear end, Ford C-6 Transmission


I'd like to do a little work in some areas. Any thoughts on the following?

- Adding power steering
- Doors don't align fully, they fit but it's not completely flush
- Speedometer & wipers don't work

Thanks in advance for the help!

It seems awkward, but whenever you "insert a picture" to one of these threads, the forum is looking for the picture somewhere on the web (which is always available) rather than from somewhere on your hard drive (which isn't always available).

Go to Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket and sign up for a free account. Then create an album for your truck. Upload any pics you want to post on FTE to that album. Have this album open on your computer when you want to post pics on FTE.

While you're making a post on FTE, select the pic you want to post from your Photobucket album. When the large version of the pic is open, right mouse click on it and select "View Image Info". The image info will be highlighted and will look something like this:
The best photos and videos | Photobucket

Copy that highlighted info (right click / copy).

When you have the spot in your post where you want the pic to be placed, select the "Insert Image" icon at the top of the post (looks like a mountain) and paste (right click / paste) the image info you copied in the highlighted box (just shows "http://" when it opens).

Your pic will be placed in the post.

Hope that helps.

Here's a tutorial Bob put together: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/67...-pictures.html
