65 f100

[Locamino]

Just traded for this 65, its been horribly chopped, moderatly chaneled, and decently bagged in all corners..
came with a 351W and c4 auto, still in the process of throwing it in

i could use some ideas about connecting the tranny linkage

also need a plan the the float/sending unit on the fuel tank., im currently using a 15 g VP Race fuel barrel.

thanks for any input

I remember that on e-bay a while back - I thought it was lost cause from the hack job. Looks like the last guy did some work to it - in a positive direction! Last I saw it, it was chopped, but no glass. The front fenders/grill still looks unfinished though. Did they widen those fenders or are they like F600 fenders?

Like the paint too - those scallops really stick to it!

Are you going with a floor shifter? Does it have the original column? I thought the chopper had put in a GM tilt column and a 350/350 - could be thinking of a different truck....

If you don't mind a column shift, I wouldn't think an original set up wouldn't be hard to find.

Is my truck famous?

ebay huh? it still looks like a hack job, the previous owner didnt even grind down all the welds before painting it! he did throw a gob of bondo on the roof, looks like he sanded that down with a fork! paint covers a lot though.

he said it was running a 5.0 with a tremec 5 speed before it blew, so might not be the truck you were thinking of.. it came out of the ghetto in downtown LA..

looks like original column, non tilt, mustv been 3 on the tree stock.

he did widen the fenders, pretty decent job as i can drive it slammed, but again he ground down 3/4 of those welds before painting it!?... just wierd

i am trying to put a floor shift in, most likly pick something out of the junkyard.. after reading some threads, im a bit worried its going to pop out of gear if not done right..

What kind of front end is under it? Mustang II? Must not of sold on the bay, didn't even have a windshield then. Is the rear suspension a kit? Looks like it's good.

You might wanna surf the forums over at Ford Truck Enthusiasts about a good shifter set up. There is a 61-66 section. I doubt you'll wanna post about your truck though - they are purests and will probably treat your truck like leprosy.

I'm diggin' the suicide doors, but that skull in the hood would have to go...

hood skull

HA! was the first thing to go once the truck was unloaded!

 

[Locamino]

suspension

yeh def. not a mustang front end, it has a professional grade dropped i beam setup , with some shotty bag buckets welded on
the 12 bolt chevy rear is 4 linked with mostly professional brackets and what not.
thanks again for the advice about shifters!
