Had Mr. Ugly and Bad on the auction with no sucess. I also have 2 others to feed as well. So next and last will be Good, and the details are as follows. I have owned this one for at least 15 years now. Had a 390 with auto tranny and power steering on a straight axle. All that is gone now. I got the Mustang II IFS from Fatman Fabrications back east. That kit alone was 2500 bucks by the time I got everything I needed. Power brake assembly came from back east as well, got the paperwork on most everything done to this truck. Installed a rebuilt 351 Windsor motor and rebuilt C6 automatic tranny. Since the front rims were now Ford car pattern I installed a 1971 Cougar rear end with tall 2:76 to 1 gear ratio.
Then due to a faulty Fram oil filter I lost that motor after only 7 K miles. Now has a hotter rebuilt 351 Windsor again with the RV cam and when it hits a certain RPM range it takes off fairly well. Hood is off a 1958 F100 and that is what was on it when I got this truck. Last owner had it for almost 20 years and it had monster tires on it then. He went camping a lot with the truck. Body work is mostly done by a friend of mine. If you look at the roof line you will notice there is no seam going back anymore. It was easier for him to cut and replace the metal rather than trying to create a new seam. But he didn't spot putty glaze anywhere so it would be a couple days more puttying & sanding to get a nice smooth surface. He just primed over some old paint chips, etc. Bottom rear corner of drivers door is showing some rust blisters forming so that should be taken care of. Once that is done then ready for a new coat of paint. Then recover the front seat a a new pair of speakers for the radio and off on a road trip. I am not worried about driving this truck anywhere. Power steering, disc brakes up front with power brakes. Springs were de arched but that has made for no loads in the back. Either re arch the springs or go for airbags or air shocks.
Other than the roof line there wasn`t much rust on this one. Right back door needs a push on the top side to make sure it is latched. The boys at the defunct local auction house couldn't figure out which door to close first them dummies. Lots of money and time into this one for sure. Having 3 panel trucks is not what I really need right now. Will answer any questions, have been a panel truck owner on and off for 30 years. There is a great Ford F-100 club for 1957 to 1960 models only with members all over the world on facebook definitely worth checking out. Thanks all.
Pertronix electronic ignition, 1 wire Chevy alternator, new door window felt kit are some of the other things I forgot to mention.

Stock Miata beats bunch of high-powered cars in wet 1/4-mile drag race
Thu, 06 Jun 2013When is a stock, 167-horsepower Mazda MX-5 Miata quicker than a Chevrolet Corvette, Ford Mustang, Lamborghini Gallardo, Lotus Elise and a Porsche 911? When it's raining. Sort of.
Mazda Canada arranged a unique drag race to show off the fact that the Miata's optional power retractable folding hardtop can go from top-down to top-up in just 12 seconds flat. In this video, all six cars line up for a drag race, and it starts to rain (well, sort of - but you'll have to watch the video all the way to the end to see what we mean). The green flag is waved, and the timer starts as soon as the convertibles begin to put their tops up. But because the Miata's roof mechanism gets the car's roof back up a full 5.1 seconds quicker than the second-place car, the Mazda gets a serious advantage off the line for the actual drag race.
It's a fun video. And while we've spoiled the results (come on, the video was uploaded by Mazda, you knew the Miata was going to win), be sure to see how it all unfolds, below.
Ford gives S-Max the Vignale treatment in Milan
Wed, 09 Apr 2014Ford has a bit of a history in reviving the names of old coachbuilders it has long since gobbled up and using them to distinguish its top-of-the-line models in Europe. That's what it did for years with Ghia, and after having replaced it several years ago with the Titanium trim level, now it's doing it again with Vignale.
At the Frankfurt Motor Show last year, Ford revealed the Mondeo Vignale concept in both sedan and wagon body-styles, which are set to reach production next year. But before they do, the Blue Oval automaker is at it again, applying similar upgrades to the S-Max minivan and unveiling it in concept form in Milan this week.
Setting the Vignale concept apart from any other S-Max is its Milano Grigio rose-hued silver pearlescent paint, 21-inch alloys, chrome trim and hexagonal-pattern grille. Inside it's all ultra-soft quilted leather and aluminum trim, with tablet docking stations in the back and thinner, more flexible seats than the existing production version.
