Project I HATE this fruck F100 build

[Restomod]

Yep after much momicking i hate this truck.....I bought this 68 F100 short bed for $1600 and started with the CV front suspension, thanks to a plasma cutter the crossmember was fought out.

[Restomod]

Bed removed with the im by myself method and rust repair started. Bottom painted with Rustoleum.

[Restomod]

Cab interior painted, doors repaired n painted, cab corner rust repaired.

[Restomod]

Firewall and back of cab painted along with front of bed

[Restomod]

Hood rust MMMMMM, and hood paint. Yes this truck was a rusty pos!

[Restomod]

This is the much abbreviated version but more coming soon.

Rust repair is annoying, but that glossy white paint is looking great!

White is definitely a good choice!

I love the bumpside Fords as much as I love the 67-72 C10s! I'm glad to see them getting more attention! I'm kinda Jonesin' for one, myself. Looks like good progress so far. I'm eager to see more updates.

[Restomod]

Thanks guys! Well this build post my be more abreviated than i first thought....seems as i have lost a lot of the pics from it. Some of the mid build pics were on my phone and a swap to a new one has lost those. The ones from the engine build and the gas tank under the rear, the rear disc swap and diff build and others are gone.......

[Restomod]

Well i will carry on with what i have....
Seat and carpet in, the engine test fit. Its a Muatang 5.0 that i just did a basic refresh with B303 cam, cheap aluminum heads, GT40p intake ,stainless headers, 7 qt rs pan ect....131383131384

[Restomod]

Main parts of the outside painted

[Restomod]

The engine a little farther along and the a/c bracket i made to go along with the aftermarket ones.

[Restomod]

I made up the gauges with a set from Speedway and a stock bezel. Air box made from a part from an old hood and some tubing. And the under dash a/c unit, i had to move the switches to the center of the dash so I can reach them.

[Restomod]

Door handle treatment, i also painted the bumpers and the outside emblems the same cast iron gray.

Nice touch with the door handles!

Thanks i had to break them up some how, well i just as well wrap up the shortest build thread ever.....

[Restomod]

Wheels on , they are American Racing VN470 Salt Flats. 18x10 r and 18x7 f, both ordered with correct offsets to fit the CV front end and a non stock width 9" rear axle. 295's on the rear and 245's front.

[Restomod]

AND...... Hood on! One heavy some beach to took 3 of us to get it on!

[Restomod]

Well i guess they are never done, it cooled off some so i re-did some ugly body work.

[Restomod]

And early Sunday morn. I repainted just the sides of the truck

[IN2FORD]

What are the offset of the wheels and what rearend are you running?

Barry

[Restomod]

Dont even remember the wheels , I will look it up and post it. The rear I think is a early Bronco or something, its a lot narrower than stock.

[nathankershaw]

Bed removed with the im by myself method and rust repair started. Bottom painted with Rustoleum.

I respect the bed removal process, I do most things myself so you gotta figure it out :)

Great looking truck, love the wheels!

[Restomod]

In2ford, cant find the paper work on the wheels but iirc the rears were 3.5" bs. I will keep looking for the specs.

[Restomod]

Thanks Nathan, been folowing your new build...looking good!

[Restomod]

Well time for the next project, my truck has been sold.
