Hi All,
This is the first forum I have joined. I own a 1956 Ford F100 that I built from the frame up. Took me 14 years, but it was worth it. I recently purchased an original radio and plan on having it upgraded. I need some help though on where to drill the dash. If anyone has template on the drill locations and size, I sure would appreciate it. My next project is sitting in the yard. It is a 1957 Ford Fairlane 500 2 door sedan. I hope I live long enough to get her done! I have to get my wife to download some photos to show.
I look forward to talking to you guys.

First of all, Welcome to FTE the best Ford Truck Forum on the world wide Web!
MidFifty has a template. I am not sure if they will send it out to people that without buying something.
Welcome to FTE Johnny. My first advise is for you to add your location, make and model of truck through the to upper left UserCP link. Second is to repeat what abe asked: Post lots of pictures. The quality of the response to questions that you ask will be in proportion to the number of pictures that you post. And finally learn how to use the forum search tool. This is a very active forum and many questions have been asked and well answered before.
Thanks to all of you for welcoming me.
Thanks to for the post information on the radio.
It will take awhile for me to get use to the forum.
I really appreciate it guys.

Welcome Johnny. Feel free to join the Virginia Chapter if so inclined. We also have a Chat thread, usually quiet though. I'm near Stuart (closer to Spencer) when in VA. Will be down for the car show and bluegrass festival at Ferrum College, last Sat in Oct. Maybe we can have a G2G then.
Also, thank you for your service to our Country.
