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.

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.

Just got the pickup back from upholstery. Now its back to clean up some wiring, install a wood bed and tonneau cover, new wheels and tires and DRIVE IT.
