CooGAR: That is one nice paint job!! I sure hope you have AC, because I can't imagine a black vehicle in your climate w/o it!!

I have quite a few - I prefer the 61-64 trucks.

Bought this last April;



This is a pretty good hint of where it's headed;



The link in post goes to the build thread.

I also own this one - it's even more apart than the 64. Summer before last;



As it sits now (aside from some primer on it).

Sylvia.. '62 longbed.. Best time I've had so far...--- http://s72.photobucket.com/albums/i179/ ... ehouse.mp4

'62 f250
Picked her up as a donor but can't bring myself to scrap it..



And the 61 uni I got from beagle.. Not sure of the plan other than when done my son and I will each have a slick..

I love showing off... although this is not a restoration but rather a road-storation... this will be my "git-er-done" truck.... 4 wheel drive for the winter, heavy duty to pull the camper and bring home gravel for the driveway... I am in West Virginia and she is a 1966 2 wheel drive F-250 and a 1966 2 wheel drive F-100 converted to 4 wheel drive with a '76 F-250 chassis and running gear... Big 300 I6 with a granny 4 speed.... no suspension mods and still have 34's under her....
here ya' go Tigger....









this is just a few I like... If you want to see more, check out my build... both of them...

Mega Pumpkin!

My work in progress....

I couldn't move it out of the garage for the pics cause the front wheel was off...

Beautiful ladies and gentelman !!! Beautiful !!!!

The shop truck

My project... Need to find some time to work on it

My Ranger

That picture is awsome!

So is that one Mark!

Mark - you and I have the same tires and wheels (looks like). My rear Cragars are 15x8 with 4.01" back space. Tires are 275/60s. However, your wheels/tirs look pushed further out than mine do. Do you have a spacer on your rear wheels? I have a good 2 inches or so gap between he edge of my tire and the fender. I'm considering adding an 1 1/2" spacer to push my rear wheels out a bit.

BTW - I plan on doing the same exhaust and tips youhave as well. Great minds think alike!

Thanks Matt.

CooGAR I have always loved your truck. Mine was supposed to have been black too but I changed my mind at the last minute when we mixed this color up. Our wheel and tire combo is identical. Mine are also Cragar S/S 15x8 with 275/60 Indy 500s. Difference is I have a mid 70s 31 spline 9" rear end which is 4" wider than the 66 rear end. My body is sitting on a 76 frame as well. I like the wider stance for both looks and handling
