I have a guy who may trade a 46 Merc Coupe for my car. It has a good running flathead motor with 3 on the tree. Just needs some interior work he says. Car looks solid as a rock. We are still in the talking stage, and havent talked about cash difference yet.(my way)

Well, it seems the guy who owns the truck is wanting to try and sell it first. Maybe a money tight situation for him, who knows. He came at me with the deal originally. I made the trip to his place to check the truck out. Who know. People can be strange sometimes. Will keep everyone informed. I...

So, I went and looked at the F1 yesterday evening. First thing I did was look at the way the motor and tranny were mounted. They used stock motor mounts for the engine, and the tranny cross member was a Speedway cross member that he bought . What I did notice is that the truck has no rust at...

Love that grill

Well, I got a text from the guy who has the 48 F1 last night. He put gas in a can and ran a tube to the fuel pump on the car. It fired right up. Going to look at it tomorrow, to drive it and check it out. I have already come up with some ideas on what I would do to it, if it works out. Stay tuned,

Nope, the truck has a 460 "385" series big block in it with a mated C6 tranny. It was a running driving truck. However, I won't really know what he has done until I look at it. And, yes the 460 is very torquey, because that is what I installed into the Fairlane. My plan is to change the rear end...

Oh, I plan on it.

I did not bond with the Fairlane like I thought I would. It's nice, it goes fast, but never did bond with it, if you know what I mean.

Yeah, I understand where all you guys are coming from. The first thing I planned to look at is the drive train , and if they used proper cross braces, and engine mounts are solid. The stock frame is what it is. I would most likely go in and beef it up and brace it real good for the torque...

So, I have my Fairlane up for sale on a couple of places. Just trying to get back into a truck. Well, I had a guy text me locally who is wanting to do a steaight up trade , his 48 Ford F1 Deluxe with a 460 modified engine,and C6 out of a 69 Bird. Body has little surface rust , but no perforated...

Damn dude , this thing is awesome. Love the look of this little mini

Like that Tripper!Gonna be a cool ride there.

HAHAHAHA/workinh on that right now. Only have so much room in my little shop though. Gotta find a home for big red.

That is one nice project right there. Love it!

I just found a 40 Ford cab in decent shape for $300. I may try to snag that and take my time working on it.

Ok guys, I feel like I owe you an explanation about where the heck I've been . And, to tie up a few loose ends on a previous thread. I did a search for my old posts, and found my T bucket project. Man, what was I thinking to get rid of that car. I put so much of my time into it. I think...
