Nice truck.. cleveland motor or modified?
Or maybe a BOSS?

Very very nice, what are the wheels you are using ? I like your colour choice also and would like a photo of the interior is possible please. What hinges did you use for the hood ?

Very nice and great work!

Nice truck. More photos, please. BTW, I love the old Caddy/Olds air cleaner.

A beautiful truck.
Nah . . . it's better than beautiful.
It's bloody gorgeous!
Be very proud of yourself mate.

When I read "Full Kustom" in your title, I was expecting an old fashioned truck with dual angled headlights, some crazy cobbled grille, scallop paint job all over, and a vibrant off color pleated vinyl interior. And here you surprise me with a very slick tasteful rodded truck. Nice job.

Motor was a 351M. I stroked it so it is now a 408.

Wheels I will be using- American Racing Torq thrust II, 16" fronts and 17" rears. I built the tilt hardware for the hood.

Thanks for the comments Guys. I'm kinda Old School. Most of the part are out of a bone yard. Here are some changes that I made: 2" chop,3"channel, 3" pancaked and reversed hood, shaved door handles and drip rails, 1 piece windows, 12" roll pan with exhaust tips, extended rear fenders, Jag IFS, Mark VIII IRS, T5z Transmission. BTW it's ALL FORD.

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.

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.
