First project, 1956 F100




Bought an old truck finally. This is my first project vehicle. The truck came with a 1969 sbc 350 sitting in the bed that had never been bored. Just had it disassembled, bored .30 over and attached the th350 that was sitting in the back. Still need to buy a carburetor, distributor, do some work on the interior, and then take on the wiring!!! Can’t wait to get her running though!!!

Looks like a great staring point. Rebuild fueled by coors!

I'm in the same boat as you but my truck is more rough. Had a Ford 302 sitting in the bed that needed machine work.

Will be following your build.

Here’s a photo of the motor during reassembly and also a shot of the interior. Need to swap out that z28 steering wheel for an f100 steering wheel
