Hey guys and gals, New member here. My buddy Jeremie has been telling me about this site for ages and i've finally joined. I am in the process of building a '56 Ford F100 pick up with my dad right now. We bought a full frame with a 4 link rear end and rack and pinion steering on the front with mustang II style suspention and brakes. We are currently working on power plant issues (have a 97 Mod motor that we are trying to sort out but i'll post questions on that in the appropriate forum) and will be running a 5 speed. Wheels and body work have yet to be completely determined but thinking relatively stock body (slightly tubbed bed for bigger tires in the back) and 17x8s front 18x10s rear (maybe). Basically looking to build a truck that could be a daily. But a daily that can do a lil canyon blasting too. Thats a basic overview. I will leave the details for specific forums as they come up. Great site and hope to get involved a lot here. That is it for now.
