This is my truck ... my traditional-rod styled 1960 F-100 pickup. The drivetrain is currently stock, but these things are never finished. I spent 10 months fixing it up with my father.


It has the original 223 inline 6 engine with a current mileage of a little over 80,000. It was 65,000 when the truck was finished a year and a half ago. It also retains the original "three on the tree" 3-speed column-shifted manual transmission and Ford 9" rear end. It's currently all stock except for the 16" Ford rims and 700-16 B.F. Goodrich silvertown whitewalls.

The interior is stock as well. The seat is the original, reupholstered in grey velour, and the headliner is the original one repainted with grey primer. The only exception is the Alpine CD deck (hidden behind the steering wheel in the photo) and the Alpine 6x9s mounted in handmade mahogany door panels.

I am the second owner of the truck. The original owner had it sitting in his field for 10 or 15 years up in Vermont. It sat there rusting and neglected, until the owner offered it to me for free. Here's how it looked:

It's come a long way since then. The corners of the cab and the steps inside the door were rusted very badly, but we fixed that.
