Dave ,you could spend days in the archives and galleries, are you looking for anything in particular?..Body? drivetrain?
Hey Mertz,
In the words of Popeye, "I yam what I yam... Hee, Hee, Hee". I majke no apologies. In my defense let me tell you that I would never put a "C" type thing in a Ford. I'm not that keen on eternal damnation. So, I'd have to say I'm somewhat of a twilighter, not dark, not light. I do have a 49 Chevy 3100 that I bought with my 53 F-100 that I want to sell to get Ford parts but if I have to keep it I will probably put a Subaru 4WD drive line and suspension in it just to spite all those guys who ruined the Ford trucks with you know whats. That'll teach 'em.

No, I'm not looking for anything in particular, just trying to get as many ideas as possible before I drag out the implements of destruction and start hacking away everything that doesn't look like what I want. So far it seems to going well.

By George McGoo, you've done it again !!! I actually looked at the picture before reading that you made the intake and my first thought was, where did he get that?

Seriously, that looks great. Have you had it running and have you cammed up the engine any?

I looked at this guy's gallery and I tried to PM him but there is no profile for him that I can find. I had some questions about the dash he put in. Does anyone know how to contact him?

I think Keith is a pretty busy guy!,..Any spare time he gets, is probably spent..when he gets a chance..on his truck! I agree you would be hard pressed to find more body-mods per square inch...anywhere else..Kudo's Keith!

I just added a pic to my gallery of the dash on my 58. Went with all mechanical gauges. Nothing really unusual, but thought it turned out pretty decent.
