    Thanks for the interior photo, I can count pedals too so even more stoked with your build. Have you used an aftermarket instrument cluster, whatever you have used, it certainly looks excellent in there.



    Now you realize that even though you have cuddled and stroked the engine with the distrubutor at the wrong end until it was purring, A big block Chevy would really make that truck get up and be gone...


    Now as an old panel basher, I know how much work has gone into that body. Did you do it all your self and do you have photo's of the progress throughout the build as I would be real keen to see your amazing work in the flesh.


    I maybe a little crazy but it stops me going insane.

    Very cool truck and nice job on the 351M. Don't see many people using that motor.

    The instrument cluster is Dakota Digital VHX 1016 Universal Multi-Level, Elliptical, Analog Instrument. I did all the work in my garage but I didn't shoot the paint and I can't sew. The interior will be finished by the end of October. I have over 180 build pictures and will probably start a Build thread on here after completion. I could have put in a Chevy motor in this F1 like I did my 46 Street Rod but I wanted my last project to be all FORD and I already had the motor.
