Like the title says my 48 f1 is starting to look like I might get to drive it this summer.I just ordered my hei distributor for my 351 cleveland, switched over to ford 1 wire alt, and put in my radiator.The body work was on hold until the guy got his shop in order, got the call today that in the next week or 2 he can start on it.I can't wait to get this truck on the road.Just wanted to share my good news.Hope everyone is starting the new year out right.

Sounds great!

 

If you get her drivable before July...you might as well introduce here to everyone at the 22nd anual "Ozarks Run" in Branson this summer. It is July 10th-12th this year.

My truck club is the show sponsor.

Last year (I was in the hospital ) they had 100 trucks registered, many more not registered, and all the club trucks (well not mine). The show has been growing a lot over the years.


Here is a link to the info (scroll down):


Show-Me F100's

LOL, i just checked out your pictures in your gallery. You have the same thing going on that I do... "OK IT NEEDS ALITTLE TLC." We can see the true beauty of our trucks and their potential, but my wife is like "That POS is an eye sore to my yard and you will be working on it forever cuz it's junk" of course there's some sarcasim in her voice and i know she's just busting my chopps, but I can tell she's just like "wtf is he wasting his time for?" LOL

 

Thanks.I'll get some new pics soon I hope.I've come a little ways since I posted the old pics.I'm lucky my wife is a big part of my doing this truck.So I got her blessing most of the time.You have a good looking truck there.What motor you got in it?

Yeah, my wife supports me but she likes to give me **** too, lol.

It's a 351 windsor. I love my '77 but i'd like to get my hand's on a early 30's coupe and/or 56 F100 also.

 

I saw a member on the forum 48'fordster says in his signature, that he is parting out a 48 f1, I thought I'd give you a heads up if your looking for parts.

 

Thanks for the heads up. I'll take a look and see if he has any parts I can use.

Hey no problem, I like it when people give me heads up for things I'm interested in.
Are you going to the FTE get together? It'd be great to see you there.
