My ST has a Brother!

[Boodrodon Dykes]

I went and picked up a 63' F100 this weekend. Its my new project car.It was my granpa's then it was my Dad's and then back to my Grandpa. I called him up one day and he said I could take it. Ive always wanted an old school Ford Pickup and it is my dream Truck. But dont worry im keeping the ST and I am still going to work on it too.......Tell me what you think.

It has a 351 Windsor in it with about 25K, and a FMX auto tranny.

That's awesome! Nothing like family tradition!



My great-grandfather had an old Chevy I wanted so bad to fix up, but I never got it

 

[Richard Kolb]

Wow, I'm jealous, those things are awesome.

 

[Mark Santini]

[Chase Straw]

nice!!! im trying to talk my wife into letting me get an old bronco 66-77, for a project car. things are looking pretty good for me right now. good luck with your new project.

 

[Larry Phillips]

That's awesome!! I was wondering when you were going to post it here! I'm looking for a '29 closed cab (Walton truck) or around a 40's-56 F-100 as a project truck later on.

 

[Chet 02]

That's going to be a great project truck. It already looks great. Congrats and enjoy it!!!

 

[Boodrodon Dykes]

I always hate getting done with projects like that. But then again, there always seems to be alittle more I can do...lol.

 

[Jeff C]

Lol, that engine bay looks to be in the same condition as my project Camaro. At least it has a new Dayco belt :lol:

 

[Gypsy me]

Oh nice nice!!!! Boodro, not much body work which is gooooood and well I know that engine is gonna sparkle! Can't wait to see the finished project!

Make your Grandpa and Dad proud, as I am sure you already do!

Reminds me of the '57 I had when I was 15 (no, I am not that old...it was an antique when I owned it). Congrats, she's a beaut!

 

[MARVIN McINTYRE 2]

Nice truck there! I'm thinking that it would look awesome in that Orange Frost color if yo decide you want to tinker with another color!

 

[JohnnyB]

Cool! Looks like its in great shape. I like those wheel wells. Good Luck!

 

[Gavin Allan]

That's SWEET!



Someday I want to get the car my wife had new in high school: '69 Chevelle SS (yeah, she is 10 years older than me-- I had the Pinto in high school...)

 

[Fred]

Sweeeet '63. Congrats. Looks like a cream puff.

 

[TomT]

Very nice. Not to sure about the color though.

 

[EddieS'04]

What motor was in it orignaly. The 351 windsor wasnt out in '63 to my knowledge.

Then the V8 was the FE block, 352,390,406 and late '63 the 427...

 

[Boodrodon Dykes]

Yah the color isnt my favorite ethier, Orang frost would look nice, but im really set on getting it Jet black.

Eddie- I beleive the originals for the 63's was the 262. The Winsdor was the early 70's.
