So my wife's uncle gave me a 78 Ford F100 2wd pickup last year. I was gonna fix it up and use it as a work truck. I tore it down to just about the frame. Come to find out the fenders, hood, and doors are in good shape. The cab though, is pretty rough. The floor and rockers are gone. The cab corners and mounts are rotted. The drip edge it rotted through on the driver side. And the back passenger side of the cab is smashed in. So I decided not to go that route.Has a 351m big block with a truck 4 speed. Runs good. Frame is pretty solid. So anyways......my question to you guys is has anyone rat rodded one of these? I would like to but I am not sure how it would look seeing as the cab is quite big. I thought about cutting the cab in half and narrowing it and leaving the whole front clip off. Then make a bed for the back after I shorten the frame.....any ideas or suggestions would be great. I still am mostly working on the new garage and corvair but I would like to get some idea of where I want to go with this one. Thanks!!!!
