Slick 60 Truck Virgin!-)

kingranch2006 · Post by **kingranch2006** » December 2, 2011, 1:37 pm

Hi Guys, I am new to the site & wanted to introduce myself. I just bought my first vintage project vehile, a 1965 F100.... I am planning on making a nice driver quality shop truck & will probably be drawing on your guys expertise! I have been trolling this site for a while now!

I am looking to lower and tastefully hotrod this truck. I fell in love with the lines of the slick 60's ford which brought me to this decision.
The truck has lived its life in Arizona & will have made its way to eastern canada, it appears to be straight & rust free, though I havent received the truck yet & can only go on the sellers word.
There are a few distasteful mods on the truck by the previous owners including a 305 Chev engine, An aftermarket steering column etc which I plan on removing & putting an orignal back in with a custom cab steering wheel.

Pics here...

Hello, from Indiana.
First things first the pics look good and the grill is a 66 which is my preferred grill. Now under the hood is a good place to start your work.
nuff sed

KR2006: Welcome!! Looks like you have a solid truck to start off with....don't worry, the heart can be transplanted:):)

for pics, they must be hosted somewhere (photobucket, etc), then it's as simple as adding [img]in%20front%20of%20the%20URL,%20and%20[/img] behind your url.

Cheers!

Welcome! Nice project truck! The only thing worse than that 305 is the hidious air cleaner! Im glad its going to someone willing to give it a proper driveline! I like your handle as I also have a 06 KR, did you upgrade to a 11?

Hey from Washington...... the state. Nice truck for a starting point. Looks solid from the pics. Cant beat these western state trucks for solid sheetmetal. Especially the southwest.

Lots of guys seem to be settling for a bow tie motor in these trucks. I saw a couple done with them this year at car shows.

The operative word is "settling".
