So where can we access this registry. I've looked through 20 of 35 pages of this thread and haven't found it so far. I'm thinking of purchasing a'57 F100 and would like any info you can provide. Is it as rare and valuable as the seller is telling me?

They are kinda rare I suppose, but far from hens teeth. They are only as valuable as they are perfect IMO...If it needs ALOT of work I would not offer up too much money at all. If it is almost what you want and is a restored truck to your satisfaction then yes it is valuable.

My own 59 f100 is worth more to me than anyone would ever pay for it...I am OK with that as I am far from being done with it. I don't see me ever getting rid of it either. I paid $250 for mine in 1992 and it had a blow Headgasket, spring radiator and a bad water pump. Fixed it the same week I got it and used it alot up until the last few years. Now it needs some attention.

This is my truck recently...It was ALOT cleaner when I got it in 92.



This is what I want my truck to emulate when I am done...



Just my opinions though...

Cheers & Welcome,

I bought my 59 3 years ago for 1000. She has a little surface rust and ran rough when I got her. I spent 2700 on rebuilding the engine and replacing nearly everything under the hood.

 

This sounds like a great idea. I will definately post the vin when i get home. Thanks

 

I love the 57'-60' style. I have 2 of them, but both have incorrect vin tag's. A 59' f250 4x4 223I6 t98 4speed 4:56(was an offroad recovery tow truck) and a 60' f250 4x2 351c c6 4:11(Buruea of veterens affairs). I wish I had the o.g vin#. I will send pic's

 

Look on the Frame Rails & next to the Radiator on the Supports for the VIN stamped into them.

 

I just got her on June 20, 2006 for only $500 cash. I'm fast becoming a big fan of 57-60 Ford trucks~ and they're almost fifty years old.

Here's my first post about my Fifty-Eight.

VIN# F10L8R22173

F10= F100
L= 272cid V8

I still haven't found the other numbers. I'll keep you guys posted.

anybody know what happened to the registry

 

Howdy - Just saw your your post about the registry. Well, it was cookin' along good and had a number of entries, over 300 so far. I was working with the webmaster at lovefords.org to get it online, which it was. I started getting little bits of information to add to the site, and they were added.

Unfortunately, what happened was that the webmaster just didn't have time to get it all updated with the info I was sending him. Also, after several calls to people to send good quality pictures of ads, manuals, tech info, options, etc., I barely got a response.

I decided that it was too much work and there was no way to personally go out and collect all of that literature that I know others already have. I have a young family of 4 and we're trying to get ahead, that kind of expense just wasn't doable. Honestly, I've even asked a couple people to take it over to keep it going. People I know have a wealth of information, who apparently don't see the time for it either.

It's still around if someone wants to pick up the reins!

 

bummer dude wish i knew how to run a webpage but it took me 3 years to sign up for email. hope someone will take it over and keep it going.

 

Looking Sweet!
What other #'s do you mean?
The DATA Plate mounted on the Dispatch Box door, where these #'s are located, has everything you need to know about the "olde girl".
