I want to know if any members are within the Mahoning/Trumbull/Columbiana/Ashtabula counties and want to get together.
I wonder if there is a chapter for these guys? I know of a guy in Ashtabula who has 56 f100s and heard he was a member--but have not met him. Stopped at his home and wife said he was a member.....Bill

 

Where is everyone? I know you are out there? Anyway--anyone with interests in 53-56 F100s in the area listed -pm me and let me know what you are up to,and if you have any interest in meeting and talking about our trucks. Bill

 

Hello Walfords, just saying hello from Stow, Ohio.

 

Howdy back and welcome......Bill

 

What do you want to talk about?

Kevin Bigwin

 

Hi Bigwin---You need to find someone to watch that Hemi-lover!! And I mean that it a good way-LOL
Did you see pics of the place Boley/Ksmith and I are going to?
He has near 1500 panels/trucks mostly ford.
I saw at least 5 56panels. I still want a 56panel that is unmolested like yours.
Why don't you repaint and drive your panel? I would strip the black with a razor-knife and have done a couple vehicles this way---and hardly even touched the original paint.
In fact -I just did the inner fenders of the avanti--they were black and I scraped the black off--and now they are turquoise.
It takes patience and new razor-blades---but is cheap and you can do it with your kids....if they are careful/ Maybe a bad idea!! haha
I decided to install the 272 with 4 speed from the 56f600 I scrapped out.
The 64 yblock has that weird harm balancer and I will use that carb and intake. I just jockeyed 3 of my trucks in the barn and still have room to build the 56. The 53 is at my buddies getting brakes rebuilt and soon will be home. Are you still doing the bee business? Is Andrew done with school--or did he get a job wrenchin'?
Anyway--I still am looking for a driveshaft (272/4speed) and running boards and rear fenders-in case you have some. I see your ebay shroud is selling well. Bill----thanks

 

Hey Bill,
I thought you were going too... I guess I'm the only one that has not seen the pictures. Where do I go to see them???

Oh well, I'll call you tonight.

Later Man...

 

I razor bladed a 58 corvette with about 5 layers of every color under the sun when I was a youngin, I think I was 12 yrs old and it was my brother vette. I actually like to drive the panel the way it is. I love the fact that I dont need to baby sit it.

That shroud should go for 75 or more I hope.

im in youngstown by mill creek park

 

deeznuts822---I used to live there also. What truck do you have or drive/ Have you ever been to Final Faze detail shop? Bill

Bigwin---I have some shrouds also--and did not know they were worth that? I figure if you scrape the black off the panel--it would show-better and then you could say--original paint!! The black was peeling alot when I saw it---and hope to own 1 soon. Bill

 

Just think how nice it would be to have the black peeling paint panel in your barn, Smooth running Y block, Overdrive, turn key, NO RUST EVER! It could be yours.....IF the price is right!

Kevin Bigwin

 

Yea---and you could only use the money to start-up the 53-56 ford truck shop....Bill

 

88 ford f150 long blue and white.

 

I live 18 miles south of Youngstown in East Palestine. I don't come to this section very often but when cruising season starts in the spring i will visit more often. I go to the 48 to 60 section every day.

Hi Terry---I hope we can get together this summer some time....and where do you cruise at? Aand W, or South Ave in Boardman? I will hope to get to cruisin in my trucks again down there.....Bill
