Ok, you asked for it. I call her Frankentruck. F1 body, Front part of the frame is an F4. I think the back might be F4 also but shortened to fit. I have a F1 frame for her now though and a Jag IFS. The boss says I have to finish building the house before I can work on it though. lol It has a not so good running 351W and original 52 4 speed tranny. I have a 92 351W out of a Bronco sitting on the engine stand also. From numbers I can find on the 351 in the truck, it's a 73 so a whopping 156HP I would assume. Thinking seriously about just going with a crate stroker.

I flipped through your build thread and couldn't find what front bumper you used . It seems to fit the contour nicely .

Front suspension finished

Got the wheel spacers mounted, longer wheel studs, camber set and shocks/springs installed. All bolts torqued, another tick off the list!! Just the away bar to link up later.

So many projects......So little time.

1933 F100 Deluxe Cab just found it in a barn in Washington!

1956 F350 Express Cab and the 1955 F700 are going to be doners for a crew Cab build.

Hey Dan,
I'm sitting here scouring the pics for a yak.... some sort of cow like creature.
Tell us more about the plane yak in your pic.
