    Lowering a '59 f100

    Thinking about dropping my '59 F100 down like my '68. I am probably going to do the rear flip and remove a couple springs. What about the front? I know I can remove a couple springs there too but is there anything else I can do? Flip the beam on top of the leafs? And if it matters, I have a 429...

I have 2 speed limit signs that I used self tappers into the existing floor but would like to surround the rest with plates. I don't really like the idea of using self tappers all the way around my...

    Okay, follow me on this.... '68 F100 3 speed manual trans backing 360 FE When I lowered my truck it pushed the driveshaft far enough up into the tranny to butt the yoke up against the tailshaft and create some damage to the seal and the tailshaft. So, while replacing the output shaft seal, I...

    Whats the most annoying?

    I'm getting into a routine of sorts.... For the past few days (not exaggerating) I have had several comments on my F100 and it's progress. But is seeming to be every time that something is said, it is always followed by "so, what color you painting it?" or "so, you're restoring it, huh"...

    Mexican blanket cover

    I bought a large blanket intending to recover my original F100 bench and as I started to look at it, was wondering which is the best way to do this? I bought some eyelets and was going to run a strong vinyl rope around the back and underneath to fasten it but not sure about that. I obviously...

    Gassers?

    I know this is a matter of opinion but I was wondering what would be the "ending years" of the gasser era? I've got my ticker going and just wanted to get a clear view/opinion. And if it matters, lets say... when it ended for trucks (not that they were that popular to make into a gasser).

    body drop (channeling) or "z" the frame

    I have spent a few hours under my truck and still unsure as to what I want to do and would like some opinions on what to do. First off, its a 68 f100 and I want it lowered... really lowered. IFS is not an option and swapping out a frame is the last resort. I considered "z"-ing the front frame...

    holy crap, man!!!

    I had someone (and this was not from a big company) come out this morning to give me a quote to run 220 from my box to my garage to be able to use my welder I just got. Just to give you an idea... he said the box had enough room and it would be just fine, all he would have to do is run it...
