I just shared these pics on another thread...thought that I would share them here. The year was early '90's and I found the '66 F-100 in a local field. The owners dad had used it on a farm and I bought it for $1000. It was light yellow, rusty, and had a huge dent in the driver's side. In less than ...

Jeff...I would love to go. I went back in the early '90's (that seems like a looong time ago, lol) and it was great. I drove a '66 F-100 that I had restored to it. I always have a scheduling conflict in May that prevents me from going. This year might be different. But I will not go if I have to wal...

That looks great! It does take quite a bit of 'tweaking' to get the steering wheel in just the right place in these old trucks. I like the look of the original steering column...and a 15" steering wheel will give you more room too.

I have "another" project going on right now...I can't post about it because the "new owner" doesn't know about it...yet. It's a surprise. I'll post updates when I can. My truck is on the back burner due to this "mystery project." Weather has been bad and the roads are s...

Great update...love that '65 of your brother's...

Still here and tuned in....eagerly watching for updates....

I sure hope the pumpkin works out for you. It was a pleasure to meet y'all again! Yes! I enjoyed out "parking lot" visit...I am anticipating installing the pumpkin within the next week or so. The pinion seal should be here today. I've recently gotten another (unanticipated) "project&...

We've got over half a foot of snow so far and maybe another foot to come.

For the most part the steering wheel and horn work well. We have more ice than anything...just received an inch of snow on top of that.

Subscribed...great build thread.

Viola' what a difference 1/2 inch can make! Perfect. https://i.postimg.cc/0NjgjQmd/Steering-Wheel-Repositioning-12-16-20-2.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/wvRS5Gw1/Steering-Wheel-Repositioning-12-16-20-4.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/BbWRmBzM/Steering-Wheel-Repositioning-12-16-20-3.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/nh0b...

i have a friend that has 72 f100 that he used explorer bucket seats.he put a hydraulic clutch and 5 spd out of a 2wd early 90s f150.first the pedal sat too high so he changed it and then he changed seats to explorer buckets then the column was too close.he got so tired of moving things around he ha...

Well...I finalized the drivers seat and it sits just as I want. Now the problem is the steering wheel. At least in my opinion, and I am the one that will be driving. It seems too close. I think that I have the seat mounted a few inches higher than the other buckets. So....I took the bracket that ho...

Thanks! I'm still "tweaking" them. The passenger seat sits perfect, but somehow I have the drivers seat an inch to high on one side. I drove it yesterday and it didn't fell right. I kept sliding toward the door....lol.

I began with the passenger seat. Sat it in to establish proper height and get it level before building mounting brackets. https://i.postimg.cc/pdGm6hKM/New-Seat-Install-12-12-20-4.jpg Cut and welded up some brackets for the seat https://i.postimg.cc/HnZpdxwD/New-Seat-Install-8-1.jpg Then I added the...

I like the seats!! Always interesting to see what people come up with. I hope they work as you want them too. Also, IF I was tha man, you'd have received your pumpkin already!! It is cleaned up and ready tho. Doug....you are "tha man!" I'm hoping to get the seats in so I can cruise down a...

It was advertised as the back seat from an Envoy or Trailblazer. It is the perfect width for my '64.

Seats are purchased. Spending the first part of the week at my daughter and son-in-laws home. Will be home later this week and hoping to get these installed. It is a 60-40 split type bench/bucket seat the exact same width as the buckets that are in there already. Stay tuned..... (Also...seats for s...
