Introduction and 57 F100
Hi, new guy here from WV. II picked up a 57 F100 SWB project this past weekend. Will try to get some pics tomorrow. Truck has had a Crown Vic front end swap and basically stripped down and media blasted. Pretty solid project originally from Nevada. Currently has a 70 351C 4v and c4. Going to swap in a 5 speed to round out the drivetrain.
Missing some one parts and have placed an add in the wanted section. If anyone has any leads or spare headlight rings hanging around or a driver side headlight door you could spare for the stainless grill, I would appreciate the help. Also looking for the throttle pedal bell crank, I believe to go from the pedal out to the carb. Probably a lot more missing, but those are the biggest at the moment.
nice to be here and look forward to sharing progress on my project.

What size was the original engine?

Thanks NumberDummy. I have the rings to retain the bulbs. It's the outer stainless trim rings. Anybody know of a close replacement or something else that might work? I'm going to see if I can't get the headlight door repaired and straitened if i can't find another of those. I had actually gotten the information above from one of your older posts. I know they are unobtanium, but thought someone might have some spares in their stashes of parts. There just aren't to many if any of these 57 trucks left around my neck of the woods.

The original part number was B7C-13045-A .. 1957 F100/900 Headlamp Door = There is ONE available! (this part number was later replaced by B7CZ-13064-A)
OBSOLETE RELIABLE PARTS in Nashville GA has 1 = 229-686-5101.
Good luck if it's still available, for a somewhat reasonable price. 600 bucks for a pair of these puppies is ridiculous.
