Congrats on your new addition to the family. I too have just purchased a 55 f100 and can't wait to get started on the restoration. This site is full of very knowledgable folks with answers to just about any question you may have. Good luck with the project.

Hey today was an exciting day. I decided that I cannot do much more to the engine until I get the heads back from machine shop, I moved the cab to garage. THis part I dread the most the body work. Oh well, has to be done. Pics coming soon!!!

Good progess, it`s coming along great and it`s nice to see tha on a project like your`s!
I hope to get back on my 56 M100 this week, I`ll have time off because of 4 1/2'' of rain we got this last weekend.

'55 Parts
Anyone have an extra '55 running board bracket that hasn't been bent at some point in its life?
Thanks, Joe

So I guess the running board brackets on the left side of our '55 that aren't bent are just my imagination. Spose I could put one good one on each side in the front to help even out the alignment. Hey, guess a good idea did come out of this post. Thanks for ALL input, Joe
