Here, still cleaning, fixing piecing together my 52 R32. Of course I had to add yet another distraction, a CJ2A. Have a thing for vintage 4x4s. I like the convenience of newer vehicles, but love to look back and tinker on the simple, yet complex 4wds of yesteryear.
Thank you, ingo. I've been following your thread and am impressed with your work. You mentioned my wheels. They are chrome reverse, 15x8 front; 15x10 rear with paintable centers. They were purchased from Sacramento Vintage Wheel. I love it when somebody comments/questions about where I got the wide beauty rings.
Checking in everyday and learning something new everyday. Truck was on the road last June. With winter here I’m fixing all the little things that need attention.

Nice looking truck! Does it still have the 6 cylinder? What other mods does it have?
I suppose it could be called a restomod. Wanted to build a stock looking F100 but with modern frame and driveline. TCI frame, rear leaf springs, 351W, C-6, Gen5 vintage air.
My yearly roll call. I do these for 2 reasons, one I like to see who is here and it get the lurkers to post up.
second reason is kind of bitter sweet. If you go back and look at some of my previous roll call posts, a lot of our FTE friends are no longer with us, yet when I see there names/user names it puts a smile on my face as to all the wonderful years we have had together here.
I'm Kevin and proud to still be a part of this community
Still here, still Lurking haha. I'll get back to posting in my project some this year I hope 🍻
I'll play!
1956 F100 Big Window! Family truck I received from Brother In-Law a few years back. Have gotten lots of information here on FTE!
Put together a YouTube channel for friends and family to keep them informed on the progress.

1954 bought in 2021, because the paint and bodywork was done and in good shape. North Dakota truck. It came with the original engine, transmission and seat, all needing work. I overhauled a 292 to replace the 239. rebuilt the transmission. new wire harness, battery, tires, brakes, shocks, kingpins and interior panels.
An interesting accessory was an auxiliary heater mounted on the drivers side firewall above the clutch pedal. I sold the 54 to finance the 55 build. The T-bucket was sold to finance the 54 build. Do not have room or finances to keep them all.
