Anyone in upstate NY?
I am located in Syracuse and was wondering if anyone was nearby, I am just starting out on a 1955 F-100 rod project and would like to see what other's have done and maybe pick a brain or two.

Anyone in Upstate N.Y.?
uc4me,
I live in the Cuse. Only my 48 is on the road. The 53 hopefully (if I can hold my father in law hostage long enough)
will be to. He has a 56 that's restored. How far along are you?
I just have drivers, do as much as I can afford to, which ain't much.

I just got the truck home on tuesday and pulled off the front clip, will be picking up the engine and trans this weekend (429/C6) and will start figuring out mounting and such next week.
The truck needs alot of sheet metal work (cab floor/cowling/cab corners...etc...)
I hear you about the $$$ this is going to be a low buck (hopefully high fun) project, I want the truck to be usefull as a truck but still cool to cruize around in.
if you want...Shoot me a PM or email and we can work out a meeting and I'll show you the hunk o crap

Welcome aboard uc4me,
If you don't mind taking a drive, I'm just the other side of Rochester. It takes me about 1.5 hours to get to the fair grounds in 'cuse from my house. I'm building a '53 and you can check out my gallery if you want a preview.
Let me know - Brad

429 C-6 huh? Your going to need a gas pump in the bed. A lot of guys on here have big v8s, it's just not for me.
I have a 51 Merc flathead V8 in my truck by the po, which I am thankful for. Otherwise i'd be driving a six around town. I like the charm of steering by armstrong, shifting and the difficulty in driving these things I guess. To each his own...
Maybe we will get together sometime. I'm kind of busy right now, overscheduled children and all.

svooom,
What town are you in? I grew up in Chili/Spencerport area. There's a great Early Ford V8 chapter in Rochester. My father used to belong to it, he had a 35 5w coupe.
I live here in the Cuse now. Funny how you end up where your wife is from....

48fordjeffie,
I've never heard of the Spencerport you speak of.
Just kidding, I live in Hilton. I did know that there was an early for V8 club but I don't know much about it. I do attend their swap meet every spring but have never looked into their club. Maybe I should.
There's not may of us old Ford truck fans up here in rust country.
Take care - Brad

Fellas,
Maybe we ought to start some kind of NY Ford Truck owners group. Maybe an FTE chapter? There is a forum for chapter happenings. Check it out on the forum index. PM me if you are interested.
