Should I sell or customize (again)?

Hi all, new to the site, looks great. I have a few trucks for different purposes, but one of my favorites is my '59 panel that I bought many years ago in decent shape but not running. I happened to be helping a buddy part out a '73 ranchero at about the same time so many items ended up in the panel. Mainly the 400 V8, C6 auto, and 9" rearend. After I did the body and paint, some chrome and a lot of love, I started driving it more and more all time and eventually it was my daily ride for a few years. It always turned heads wherever I went. During that time we had one of the worst hailstorms ever and a couple years ago I hit a deer and did some minor damage to the grille and r front fender. Now I have it parked and need to make a decision. If I keep it I'd like to put an IFS under it, maybe even update the running gear again. It seems there is a million IFS kits for fords up to '56 but I haven't seen anyone offering one for '57-'60 ford truck. Thats what I was looking for when I found this site. I've always had Fords, I drive a '97 Probe, a '77 F-250 is my 2nd driver, a '56 F-600 dump and a '48 8n tractor, and the panel truck at the ranch. I really have enough to work on, don't you think? Dave

Welcome to FTE Panel 59!

Sounds like you have quite a selection...

I won't give you any advice as my wife has told me I have enough projects myself and I do not need to be egging anyone else on...

I'm sure you will find a lot of great information and a great group of people on FTE!
