I am going to lower my truck 4" all around using Sids drop front axle and flipping front rear shock mounts and reversing front eye as well. I just got done replacing bumper bolts, front and rear marker lenses and gaskets, rubber bumpers for hood, window crank *****, among other things I have done this year. I also plan on refinishing all 3 hood emblems...

Same as my summer project, get well enough to work on the truck again. I will make it, someday.
I love following all you people's progress. It's inspiring, and full of ideas.
Aloha, Tony

6.9 diesel in my 58 F100. 4spd trans and a 3 spd brownie with 3.0 rear gears. Lower it and use it as a shop truck, hopefully an honest 20 mpg is possible along with the coolness factor of shifting twin sticks.

First reseal the injector pump on the cummins 6atin my '59, then replace the pass side window, lastly install dynamat or whatever else I need to better soundproof the cab. 6.9 in your f100? really cool and the twin stick thing rocks. I definately need more gears in my '59 f350. Splitting then down the middle would be ideal.

I will be installing the new holley terminator efi system on my 466, that's more than enough to do. My plan is to do lots of cruising next summer.

It's when you freeze your *** off lying under your truck on a concrete slab at night in an unheated building.Cold here is usually about 35-40 in the winter. I think the guys that live in the cold frozen climes just check out of their unheated shop for a few months........I dream of that in-floor heat with hot water circulating through the concrete and a big wood fired boiler outside. I have unlimited firewood here. BTW, I can cross off resealing my injector pump. Yay!
