my first build is finally street ready. 1960 ford f100

Before I bought it, somewhere around November 2015

I apologize in advance for the large amount of pictures in this post.

Old camaro front end

Previous owner wanted to put this in the truck

60 ford 223 engine

Need more power

Good bye

Empty bay

Nice tush

Sanded down those terrible green bezels

Swapping to automatic transmission.

No more clutch cylinder

Removed solid front axle front suspension

Everything you need to build a brand new modern independent front suspension

One of my first practice welds

Crossmember for the new suspension

Manual steering (for now)

Got some 2 inch drop spindles for a lower ride

Ride height without any weight

De-rusting and undercoating the bottom

Donor truck, 86 chevy c10

Dirty old 350

Also dirty and old turbo 400

Test fit seems fine

Motor mounts installed

After much measuring of course

Ride height with just bare engine

Digital guage cluster

Comp cams thumpr.

This cam sounds great

Whiny gear drive

Ended up swapping this back out for a regular timing chain. The whine was unbearable.

New fuel tank so I don't explode

Gotta give a little love to the rear suspention with some new shocks

Brake lines also being ran

New wiper linkage

Upgraded to power brakes

Old motor isn't looking too bad after a good cleaning and some paint

Setting up the head high shifter

Ran spark wires, engines starting to shape up

New windshield went in easier than I expected

Build your own exaust kit

Ran Sanderson block hugger headers with 2 Flowmaster 40 series mufflers

Keeping it a true dual exaust setup with shortish pipes exiting just in front of the rear wheels turned out to be a great setup. Not too loud, but loud enough to turn heads. No drone as of yet either.

Patching up some holes in the floor pan

Custom slip yoke drive shaft

And finally my first picture on the street.

Took about 6 months to get it to where it is today. Still have a few minor things to fix before it's "done" but it's in a good enough state to have a nice around town. Sorry for all the pictures again. Threw most of what I had in here since I didn't know what to leave out.
