A buddy of mine picked up a 66' F100 a couple months ago. You may see it driving around North Charleston. It's flat black, with lime green grille and lime green FORD letters on the tailgate......His has the 3 on the floor, and the 390c.i. :bigthumb:

1SMKN99 10-10-2012 08:00 AM

BigdaddyDupree 10-10-2012 08:25 AM

LXtasy 10-10-2012 08:26 AM

1SMKN99 10-10-2012 08:27 AM

The 2 I sold when I bought the Lightning. The one on the left had a 429 in it and a 352 in the other one. IMHO a LS in one = FAIL.

But it's not my truck so have fun with the build.

Hey I got some left over parts, mainly interior stuff, let me know if you need something, I may have it.

update
 
well we've been slackin taking our time but we got it stripped down to the frame and now have a front end off a 2008 crown vic on it so it will not handle like total shit, and will have power steering and disc brakes. currently installing a 8.8 with a four link suspension on the rear.

F- my couch. FML.

StoneColdSVT 12-05-2012 07:14 PM

Good choice going with the CV front end, much stronger than those wimpy mustang 2 conversions.

LXtasy 12-05-2012 09:27 PM

Lq9 with a cam. Bam power goals right there. But i really say stay fuel injected ford motor. Boosted 5.4 swap

paul wall 12-05-2012 09:49 PM

8 yrs ago i had a 65 slammed on 20s, truck was flat black with a fuel injected 4.0 out of an explore, used the steering column too soo it had tilt and cruise, and had the Ford dash cluster. it was a cool truck back then.

we plan to have it pretty low on 17's with some thick 325 dr's on the back. probably going to go with a dark glossy maroon color with the grill and everything blacked out. pretty excited to get it finished and on the road

2001hawk 12-06-2012 02:43 PM

Should clean up and paint or powdercoat the frame.
