- In this episode I install the horn button and horns, fusible link on ECU feed, custom Whiskey Bottle radiator overflow tank and add a tach on the dash.
I have a 56 ford f100 also and these videos really help guide me trough my restoration process.
I just ran across your video nice looking truck I have a 56 Ford F100 I bought when I was 13 in 1983 with my 4-H Pig money for $600 a rolling truck my dad and put a 351 Cleveland and a C6 in it a Mustang 2 front suspension underneath it out of a Pinto but used Camaro front steer spindles calipers and rotors over the years I got tired dragging over speed bumps we did all the Bodywork to it painted it black it's got 156 louvers in the hood then in 1993 I ran across a 1976 International Scout with 64,000 original miles I gutted motor transmission transfer case front suspension rear suspension Springs everything out of the Scout and put it underneath that 56 Ford still using the stock Ford frame so now it's got a 354 International 727 transmission married transfer case select automatic front hubs very rare Dana 44 front and rear and 33 1250 15s on 10 inch wide aluminum slot mags all under the fenders just about flush it just everything bolted in perfect there's about five inches of clearance from the tops of the tires to the wheel opening it just looks stock four-wheel drive I love it still have it today I finished the truck and 96 and it 'sat till 2015 my dad drove it 8 or 10 times in all those years probably put 1000 miles on it .He passed I drive her off an on 60 miles a year great memories everything works except the wiper motor stripped the teeth .
That is awesome! What a neat setup.
Great truck I am enjoying your video I am actually building one now using a GT mustang 94 onto a 51 ford .I am going to use everything I can off of it to sale money. Just making a everyday driver not a racing truck. I don't weld so I try to look for things I can bolt on or drill any tips would be greatly appreciated.
I would definitely recommend a small 220v mig welder and practice. Once it's setup correctly they are easy to weld with and you can weld anything from sheet metal up to 3/8" mild steel. My other basic tip, make a list. Have a piece of cardboard and a marker and start writing down everything you know you need to do and as things come up, add them to the list then cross things off as you go. That's been a HUGE help for me to not forget and keep me on track.
@@FadedPaintGarage Thanks for the info I will keep that in mind and also purchase the welder 👍
