    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.
