[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 13-Apr-01 AT 11:56 PM (EST)[/font][p]this is one of my 1965 f100s I have two. this one Ibought in GA, from a retired preacher.He was the orig owner and it has 63,000 miles It wasnt for sale but I offered him $1671.00 all the cash I had on me at the time. I drove it back to michigan and begun working on it. it had a straight six in it and I put a 429 in it it has been tubbed and 3 inch dropped I beams on it I bought this truck in 1991 and worked on it for a while but then got married and had children and bougt a house.it still sits in my garage. I now own a 65 long bed that I daily drive with a 302.I dont have any pics yet of that one. I caught the 1965 ford truck bug back in 1982 I bought a 1964 f100 for my first car ,(truck) and then in 87 bought a 65 f100 long bed and sold it after I bought this one.In all I have had 4 and I must say 64,65,66, are the best looking trucks they ever made,my op of course.weel see if these pics work out and let me know what you think.....................waterfront go to http://y42.photos.yahoo.com/waterfront500

a guy up here in grand ledge Michigan who makes dragster race frames did it.It was kinda expensive but I had seen some guys butcher thier trucks trying to put those after market kits in this guys welds and work look like factory, and I know it was done right.Its a ladder bar setup with a drive shaft loop as part of the frame with chassis engerneering adjustable coil over shocks. all the tubeing and framing were made from stock,and the rear was narrowed as well.????????????I cant remember the name of his shop, it was back in 1993 but if you really want to know I will look it up for you ,just let me know.
