New b100 guy
So I'm here looking for parts mostly and information for future builds. I've got a b100 (the b350) being built right now and am super excited about it. It'll probably be all over the place by the end of the year. Just being modest, but this things gonna be nasty. I didn't really know anything about the b100 until after I got this beast. At it's core, it's a ford pickup. That's what Ford factories sent to Mexico anyways.

Welcome to FTE!
In the US, the B series is school buses.
I tried to find Mexican Ford manuals or parts catalogs recently. I came up empty handed.
INot sure where to send you, other than to work with US stuff and improvise as you go.
What engine and trans in that one? Or are you going to repower?

This was a cargo truck. There aren't even bolt holes for rear seating. And all the doors rub, even with no paint, requiring skinning and blah blah blah. As of this moment, the mechanics are sound and awaiting reinstallation (and whatever drama that brings).
To do:
Interior
A/C
Need a new drive shaft
Glass all around
Roof rack
Bumpers

Are you doing it or having it done? Definitely do a build thread as these are seldom if ever seen on the road. Very intriguing set up, I'll be following along. I was thinking of building an "overland/bugout" type of project next. With a 7.3 Godzilla and automatic. .One could really have a great set up with this sort of platform albeit rare as hell.

On the thread build I'll put in the history of the series as well. Never knew they existed until last year after over 30 years messing with Ford's.
