It is a lot harder to do a "Build List" when I'm still building it.....but this is close.

 

I will keep this thread in mind and fill it in when I'm a little bit further along.

 

Check my gallery. We (a lot of us) made build lists a while back. Mine is mostly stock though....nothing exciting.

 

great idea Bobby, I'll post one here soon. I sure hope that Jag Red don't get too upset once he realizes just how many non FOMOCO powerplants there are on here.

Cheers guys.

 

53 f 100 : its all 53 ford save for : a gm 1 wire alternator , 83 ford truck rims and a fenton floor shifter , and headers of some brand with glass packs . 55 f 350 / 100 : geez i dont know if i have enough room but .... 55 1/2 ton frame with monte carlo front clip 80 or so , rear diff unknown all i know is its got a gm bolt pattern but looks like the dana / spicer 44 thats supposed to be there . gm column, 74 360 fe and c-6 auto , 56 f - 600 front frame rails for radiator / front sheet metal supports { not welded in yet } ,cut down 8 foot express bed of unknown for sure year , mix 'n' match gm 14 inch rims ,seatfrom 56 f-600 , front bumper 56 f-600 , oh and yeah tons of parts from other effies layin' around and its nowhere near together .

 

Nice Bobby.. ..I wonder if the powers can make a template that can be used as part of the gallery function so we could refer to the specs on the fly as opposed to finding a long lost or forgotten thred. This is as important as the text feature in gallery that most guys don't utilize ( see Randy Jack's as example of the usefulness) but could serve as a "how to" in some cases. Just a thought........
Again, nice !!!!
Jon

 

I've added this thread to my favorites list. I can see this as a quick reference guide when members are asking questions and the like, and we can find who's already "got this/done that", for those newer folk that ask, "Does this fit? or How do I modify that?", etc...

As for mine, I'm in the same boat as Rusty.

Mine is not running yet or I'd join in. But I'm really impressed with the Frankenstein's out there. Anyone can build a truck out of a checkbook. It takes a real man to fabricate it out of Abbie-Normal (anyone remember the movie?) parts.
