Greywolf,I also live in Norfolk. You have probably seen many of my posts. I am retired USN and retired civil service. Now all I do is read FTE messages and baby my F-150 (see album). I live in Colonial Heights off Old Oceanview Rd.

Sounds like a good idea to me too. Only one problem. Truck is nowhere near roadworthy yet. Take a look in my gallery to see why!! Hopefully if all pans out right I will have her on the road by September.

I'm looking for anyone with a '61-63 F-100 (last run before twin I-beam) who will allow me to take some measurements. At last year's rod picnic in Suffolk I looked one over lightly, and it appeared the (stock) front axle had more drop than my '56. Would like to confirm that with a closer inspection of a representative truck or a takeout from someone's IFS conversion project. Object: poor man's drop swap.

Where in Chesapeak are you. I am in Deep Creek. Sorry I don't have a 61-63 but I would sure like to see your 56.

Russell,
Western Branch.
'56 is down for maintenance. It came to me with 428/C6 combo which scoots just fine, but the truck needed attention in other departments.
First up was steering: it didn't want to. Installed Toyo 4x4 box and Ford pump. I didn't like leaning out of the seat to reach the stubby Mustang shifter, so I put in a long-neck unit.
Finished brakes this weekend: dual-chamber master cylinder on homebrewed bracket, new lines, slaves, shoes.
Might fire it up soon to circulate fluids and charge the battery, but it needs rewiring---looks like it was done by a commitee of blind men. Got the materials, trying to muster courage.
Got a 9"/3.25 ratio rear ready, but I'm holding off 'til a later date when the bed is off--- fresh out of enthusiasm for working belly-up in the driveway.
