My 65' Ford F100

[Wardy]

Well, guess I'll add my truck since I added it over on RDC. Bought this truck for $900 in Cali about 2 months ago. Plan is to drive it for a couple years while I gather parts to make a class 8 race truck/prerunner out of it....ala the Hay Hauler. Kinda has that Rat Rod look to it, I think it's pretty cool and beleive it or not it gets many looks on the HWY. I'd rather have some fun with it instead of tear it down to the frame and wait till I can gather parts. Thinking about taking it to the sign painter and having "Racers Only motorsports" painted on the doors in a weathered look. The engine is an inline 6, possibly close to 120HP, was a 3 on the tree but they moved the shifter to the floor. Wife has been using it to go get hay......

Nice purchase!

I dig it! I've considered wrecking my Bronco to give me a reason to put a 60's F100 body on the chassis.

Nice. A local guy by the name of Tony does pinstripe and door artwork like that. He drives around a 60 Dodge Seneca and hangs out with the local "Greasers". I can get you his number if you want it.

Philo, yes, I'm interested. Wardy

Nice ride. Can't go wrong with an old truck and looks to be a true hay hauler, ha ha ha.

Check out this link Rory for some ideas:

If I ever find a 1932 Fordor I'll be doing just that with lettering from my dad's first job (it was a machine shop) here in the states in the early 60s. The shop was called Metal Masters. And on my hot rod's doors it would read Metal Masters Speed Shop.
