Someone could probably get a couple good quarter panels and some other good parts if they have not been worked too much. Why

Four rear doors, might almost be worth it just for parts, it they're in decent shape.

I think so also. Chopping anything is a daunting task let alone a panel with all that metal.
I had read here about a few guys looking for the rear doors and running boards, thought maybe they could pool the money and buy this for the parts

I bet they figured out what a PITA the windshield was going to be.

Bob, I bet the doors were cut....

I agree, the price is good for the parts if the doors have not been chopped up.


and I would never ever ever chop a panel truck... why ... just why..

I can see in the back of the panel that at least one front door has been chopped

I like it...too bad I don't have time for another project. The major design problem with chopping an F100 is that it makes the front end look bulbous. I would drop the cowl, which would make the windshield opening stock size, and then channel the front end to match. I bought a truck in Fallon some years ago...nice drive from SoCal.

Part it out!!!
I think I'd make a unibody out of it. That way the windshield would remain stock and you could sell off the barn doors to recoup part of your money.

There are a couple out there that are done nicer than that. I believe the use the entire cab back off of a pickup.




That's what I meant by a unibody.
