Colorado Springs is over the Rockies from My brother. But he being a gear head and not working if there is enough interest I can ask if he will go look at it for us.

Never hurts to ask I guess. I think one of his kids lives in the Springs also. Maybe they
can check it out.

It`s tearing me up since it was first advertised once before and it seems to be nearby but I just can`t wrap my head around the gm components.

There`s been a few regrettable personal experiences and lots of folks do like to remind me of it..... guess it`s so I don`t do it again.
While I would like another F100 it has to have Ford running gear.

That would be my wish Colin, he could use it for something else but I think he has way too much time onto it.

I`m not sure if putting a newer frame is the way to go but this truck has had a lot of work done to it. I just phoned and the only way the seller will part with it is to trade.
I`ll maybe slip by this weekend to have a look tho I'm not anxious about dealing on it since I`d way sooner find someone do the rest of my 53 M100 with the 80 Mercury car front clip, 302.

You know, on one hand having the GM running gear and front clip sucks, but on the other hand its a bonus. There are a lot of GM enthusiasts out there and those parts should be easy to get rid of so you could do the proper justice on that truck. I should come buy one of your started '53-'56 projects and finish it Mo...

The wreckers are full of gm truck parts so not likely I would get alot for the parts and it would be just too much work to redo this poor truck.
I`m curious how the flip hood was done so I still may have a look this weekend.
