Had not thought of some of those... I will do some testing. Thanks for the comments. [;)

I am doing a 64 Ford F-100 SWB Slick in a Retro Style and I am looking for any/all out of the ordinary frame and associated parts paint/coating ideas. I do not want to go with the usual blacks (flat, semi, or gloss) but am thinking something much like the way a used frame looks - rusty/patina...

Thanks for all the comments... I have decided to keep it on (for now) and try it out with the overall build and see how it blends in. I will make my final decision sometime out in the future.... :cool:

Welcome aboard RRR.... just east over her win North Georgia. Plenty of help here along with a little fun....:cool:

Welcome to RRR from North Georgia..... maybe our paths will cross someday. [;)

I am trying to decide if I should leave the low right side toolbox inset or remove and patch the hole? I am also wanting to leave the exterior paint and patina as is so that obviously factors in my decision and how to deal with that if I do go with the patch? I will be removing the aluminum bed...

Blue Eyed Devil Talked to Sid at great length today. He is making me a 3" Drop Front Axle now and helped me understand all the other pieces to the puzzle. Good thing is that he drives a 64 Ford F100 Fleetside as his daily driver and it is lowered with the same pieces. A good tip - Thank You!!!

Blue Eyed Devil Thank you. I have found that last night on the web as well. I think that is what I am going to install. Thank you for the confirmation and time to post. I will let you know how it goes as I am in the process. [;)

zzrodder Thank you for the detailed instructions - would seem to be speaking from first-hand experience.... :cool:

Bamamav It is a straight axle. The Twin I Beams started in 65 I believe?

05snopro440 Thank you for the GM Vehicle Information Link - very helpful indeed. I measured the bed on the 46 and it measures as a 47-54 as you indicated. I will probably still use it because it is going to be a Ratrod of sorts and still have the look I want (I think?) but that remains to be...

Soltz Thank you.. that was what I had researched and thought would give me the look I want for a reasonable price. I know it is not the same as a complete frame swap/built or a front-end exchange but it is where I want to be for this specific truck. I am not keeping it for long and not trying...

Looking for thoughts on economically lowering a 64 Ford F100 SWB and not with major frame modifications? Would like to hear what the experiences have been and if there are any good threads here to look at for ideas? Thanks.

40 Chevy Truck Inspired Harley Rider Update! Because of seeing your 40 Chevy build project I have gone ahead and picked up a 40 Chevy that was just north of me. A complete truck with original running gear in her (she runs as well). I will put her in line with my 46s as another project to be...

SneakySnake Thank you for the tip and the time to share your pics. I looked at your 53 Build Thread.... very impressive and I love the style you have gone with. How far are you along in relation to what you have posted? Is the truck finished? Again very nice work and some great ideas there...

Ha Ha... I know... all the parts are "all original".... :D The bed is correct as best I can tell? I have 46 fenders to go back on it. Plan to use the 47-53 fenders for a future project.

05snopro440 That is what I am thinking as well? I do not mind making my own just want to test the waters. Do you have any pics on your thread of your mounts? I know you used a Buick motor? Thanks.

Many Thanks! Harley Rider - Many thanks for the time you have given in documenting your build for the 46. I have gleaned so many new ideas from your detailed build thread for my 46s. Please keep the information coming as you finish your truck so that we are not caught in suspended animation...

As my introduction post indicated I have two 46 Chevy Pickups - one partially on the way to becoming a Ratrod and with an S10 Blazer frame under it already with a stock 350 cu in Chevy and 700r4 Tranny in it. I am not sure that the engine is sitting properly (pretty far forward and close to the...

Greetings All! First let me say thank you well in advance for the help I know I will receive here in RRR as well as that I will try to return the favors as I am able to and within my knowledge base. I have been a gear-head all my life starting with 60s/70s street rods as a teenager to complete...
