Very ***ing sexy... Looks like a white version of the black truck Silvester Stallone drive in that last movie he did... With all of the other "hero's" from the past.. Forgot the name bit yeah looks very good! How much was the paint job if you don't mind me asking? I ask because I have a 62' Chevy Nova... Pretty rusty inside..

hahahah That was my first time painting a car in my buddy's garage. So about $250 in paint and supplies and a bunch of time. My friend had a spraygun. But thanks man, Just put a 444 (bored 427) BBC Chevy with a turbo 400 trans in it. Came with a old Chrysler 440 in it. Just didnt want to build a Mopar motor. Too expensive
Everyone tried to talk me in to going chevy in my caddy. I held fast and stayed with a bored out stock set up. 331/.060 over.

Truck looks like it was a pretty good start. Clipped and what not. I'm a chevy dude.
I'd only go ford if it was pre 1948. LOL. Or the 59/60 unibody. Those are sick.

I am not really a ford guy myself but my uncle who is like my dad has a 56 f-100 small window and came up on this one. Asked if I wanted it and i said sure. I sold the 440. The BBC is a full rebuild. The clip is a 73 chevelle. Built ford 9", gonna be fully caged. Gonna get some Subaru bucket seats for it. I kept the tilt front end also.
