These are some main shots of my 1968 Ford F100 (1/2 Ton Pickup), bought it May 2nd 2007 at the age of 15 and have been building it as a street rod ever since... its loud, fast and a high school kid's car, so its not perfect but thats okay.

This is just the main and important stuff, if you want to know the story behind it you can go on to the next several pages, but this is just for those of you wanting a quick glance! -Scotty

Current Specs

390 CID FE Big Block

(Ford) w/4 Speed Manual (1st gear compound, thus treated as a 3 Speed)

4 Barrel Edelbrock Carburetor w/Performer Series Edelbrock Aluminum High Rise Intake Manifold

Blackjack Headers w/2 1/4 inch Dual Exhaust, Glass Pack Mufflers, exits before rear tires

15x8 Inch Chrome Wagon Wheels (5 on 5 1/2 lug pattern) Rear Wheel Drive with Ford 9 inch rear end swapped out third member from a 3.25 for a Mercury Cougar's 2.75 ratio Ring and Pinion thus better highway and top speed.

Other notables, Grant Challenger Series Steering Wheel, Sony CD Deck, Hurst Shift Knob and deep modified Bronco Fan Shroud

 

Day 1, May 2nd 2007, (Prior to previously listed mods) I bought the thing, just plain baby blue and rusted out interior floors and hacked door panels

July 2008, Some body work and painting under the hood has been done

The Interior also had some work done to it so it would be somewhat acceptable at shows now

September 2008, Dodge Charger/Challenger Styled racing stripes down the side

 Sometimes the underglow makes me feel a bit tuner-ish but who cares, its an old truck and no one expects something like that on a truck! besides, it only costed me like ten bucks to do the interior and underbody stuff...

And again another sort of tuner/ricer customization but it looks so good on this truck... Smoked out Tail Lenses and Turns Signals

I like this truck. That is the same color I want to paint mine with. Never get rid of this truck, you would regret it. Keep having fun with it, and check out my resto. 5***** all the way.
