Hey what a great site! I have been looking for a site like this for a while. I just bought a 65 F100 SWB and I am looking forward to making it a cool cruiser.
I have redone 3 Mustangs and a 78 F150 over the years, bowed out for a while and decided I needed another project. After a lot of searching and driving here and there looking at all kinds of old iron I found the previously mentioned 65 F100. I just feel in love with the lines of the truck.
A bit about the truck; 65 F100 SWB with a 410 c.i. FE, C6, and 9 inch rear. A kid and his dad built it up as his high school ride and now he would rather have the cash in place of the truck. It needs a bit of TLC but I think it has a ton of potential. Also the previous owner loved using that Jeg's catalog so it has some real nice parts included.
Again glad to have found such a cool site, and look forward to getting some great ideas for my new project.

Thanks everyone! I have been reading up on the topics here, what a great place. I was hanging out at another board, but it is dead. Glad to have found a active online community.
I just have to get the 65 picked up so I can get busy. I sold a 57 Chevy truck to a guy in Massachusetts and his driver should be here in about a week, then I can go get the 65. The anticipation is killing me.
And 550 miles down the road.
