New member saying hello.
 

I have been reading stuff on this sight for a long time, finally decided to join. I am not good with this computer stuff, so you will have to forgive me. I have my Grandfathers 1960 F100 taken apart in my basement, I am getting started on the restoration. Looking forward to getting to know some of you, I live in Woodstock, GA.

Welcome to the group. Always good to have more.

I hope your basement has a large door to the outside.

And you do not much in the way of computer skills to ask a question or answer someone else's question.

Welcome Pepperdyne.

Whats the scoop on your truck, did you tear it down for rebuild or did your grandfather start it? Going for a stock restoration or hot rodding it?

Welcome, and my advice is don't keep track of what you spend on it. It can spoil the fun and leave messy evidence......:-jammin

Ditto!!!!:)


Welcome aboard!

Taking pics of what things looked like before you tore them down can save you a lof of trouble!

Hi, and welcome to FTE and the most under-appreciated ,orphaned, much-maligned, yet oddly attractive trucks in existence.Except for that other brand.

My Grandfathers 1960 F100
 

My Grandfather passed away 12 years ago. Up to that point it was a running driving truck. My Grandmother and Uncle knew how much I loved my Grandfather and the truck, so they MADE me drive it home after the funeral in North Carolina because they knew I would never sell it. I drove the truck for about 6 or 7 years and then parked it because it needed major work. I have completely dissassembled it in my basement, I have the frame sitting on jack stands. I am removing the front Ibeam so I can install a crown vic front suspension (already purchased). I bought a 1995 Mark VIII for $500 with a good running engine and transmission that will go in the frame, along with the IRS. I am going to assemble it for fit, then dissassemble everything for painting. I will take pictures along the way. I want the truck to look fairly stock on the outside, but with updated drivetrain and interior. Sorry for being so long-winded.
