Hey y'all
First time on the forum here. I'm working on wrestling a '56 F250 from my father and putting the cab on a F100 shortbed frame. He's got a lot of parts for it, and basically all I need is the frame, bed, and a 9" rear and I should be set. Oh, and lots of time.

Actually, I'm not wrestling it, he's giving in fairly voluntarily. However, I do need to get it to WY from SOcal.

Thanks in advance for all the tips I hope to be getting here.

PS if anyone has the aformentioned frame, rear end, etc or a lead on one close to me, please don't be shy!

The best name to affix "dangerous" to is Dan. Then you can add a bi-line:

DANGEROUS DAN
THE POLICE MAN

or

DANGEROUS DAN
THE FORD MAN

But Dangerous Dave is ggod too. Jag

My son's name is Danny. Ever since he was just a little squirt I've called him Dangerous Danoo McGrew (don't ask me why....it just rolls of the tongue nicely)

Thanks y'all. I'll get some pics up when the truck is in my possession. It's still in Cali, I'm in Wyoming. All in due time!

Welcome to FTE! Geez, Bobby, that's worse than mine. My boys name is Mark, I call him "Marky barky man!" Ok, maybe it's not worse?

Dave, No promises, but I might have a frame for you. I have a '55 F100 that is a donor for my '54, and I won't be needing the frame. I don't how far you are willing to travel for it. It's in south central North Dakota. It probably won't be available until later this summer, after I have the chance to remove the parts that I need.
