Another F-1 project/pile of parts

Drug this mess home the other day.......price was right and I wanted the FE engine and trans. Someones aborted project, has a Dakota front clip and 9"rear. Oh, and a "Kustom" chopped top.
Shame, looks like it was a nice rust free cab at one point.

Not sure what I'm gonna do with it yet.....just add it to the collection for now I guess.

Less of a Chop top, more of a Butchered top. The rear fenders do look pretty good, maybe a little bondo where the running board attaches. Hope you get a good FE block out of it.

We love your fabrications. Show us what you got

This is an OMEN who else should receive a ford in need of such a fabrication make over other than the Tinman. Use the POs chopped mistakes to create a long door cab or a 4 door or something you were hesitant to do before. You cant go wrong its already butchered. Bring it back as a new creation of your own. Take lots of pictures and enter often because we all miss your posts. You can do this Scott. YOU ARE THE TINMAN.

Well, I really don't plan on building this truck, but who knows?
I got it for parts, the fenders are decent....I have the front uppers as well but no lowers.
