That '57 is beautiful. That is my favorite year Ford truck too. I think it needs a little more of a period look though, it just takes something away from it when everything on it is so modern.

I'd be happy with any of those trucks, but what the heck was that BLASTOLENE??? I've never heard of that. They are custom/show cars built by two guys that call themselves the blastolene brothers. Jay Leno's "tank car" was built by them before he bought it and made it drivable. Really cool...

Anyone have a list of takeoff wheels with size specifications that will fit a 62 f100? I have a set of steelies that look like factory wheels. The backspacing on these is more than I would like, as the rear tire (215/75/15) can rub the bed inner fender/panel (its a flareside) when the axle gets at a...

Jimbo, Judjing by your username I'm guessing you need a tube mount for a 302. Take a look here. http://www.tdperformance.com/products/?id=3295 Try the dealer locator. I was able to get mine locally the day after I ordered. It was a few extra bucks but saved on shipping. I used the 4849. The kit inc...

Thanks!

I have a plan to put an efi 302 in my 62, but I want to keep the column shift standard. Will a 70's or later 3spd work with my factory bracketry? If not does anyone know the mods necessary to swap to a standard that will fit behind a windsor engine and work with the three on the tree shifter?

Where do you order the full crossmember?

I saw a 66 with the chromed headlight bezels and bumper with a painted grille. It looked good, but after reseaching a few pics, I think I am just going to too the bumper. Thanks

I think that's lighter than my Fairlane

No kidding, that is nice for a 352 truck. Mine might be lighter than I thought.

I'm buying a replacement rubber mat for a 62 f100 with a 223 and a 3 on the tree, and I was curious. Do I have the large or small transmission hump? I assume small, but I am not certain. http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v218/jimbo302/?action=view&current=DSCF0045.jpg I know its ugly, but I am j...

Texas Motorplex?

Doesn't really look like it to me. I'm not sure, I got it off the mayhem bob site.

Mine is a work in progress.

I would think that would be a pretty light truck, especially with the 302/t5 swap.

Those are definitely sharp trucks, PFM-64f100. Not exactly flaresides or stepsides if you prefer, though.

That would be interesting to see.

Greenville is north east of Dallas. I'm mostly around the Waxahachie area.

Here's a nice one I found to kick it off:

I would really like to see some pics of some flareside slicks, projects, finished, stock survivors, doesn't matter. Post 'em if you got 'em.
