68 F100 2wd

[alvinator]

Hey eveyone, just joining up and thought i would post in here about my project truck i am working on. 68 F100, 360, auto. I am currently posting the pics of where i started to where i am now, so not sure how this link stuff works yet, but i am open to ears to posting links.

The easist way by far is just to create your own Album in the Photo Gallery and then upload your pics there. Then you can put a link to it in your sig (or in the My Info box in your Profile). Then whenever you post something new to your Album, you can just tell folks to check it out.

Here's a couple links to help you get started:

Good looking blue, looks like just a hint of metallic?

Whats that other one in the background? Like the chrome bed rails!

Oh, welcome to the site.

the other one you see in the background is my oldest son truck we worked on. It is a 69 F100 with a 4-bbl 390, headers and flowmaster exhaust. We did the body work and painted it, as well as the blue one, in my drive way using single-stage paint.

And yes, it is a metallic blue. It is a '04 True Blue paint. We plan on doing the interior in Blue/White. Re-doing the seat, door panels, sunvisors and overhead. I will be sending pics as I go along. in April (second week, boys on spring break), we will be putting in the engine and mounting the rear mounted gas tank on the frame.

Hey Alvinator,

Where in TX are you. There are lots of TX boys on this site so you are in good company.

Are you in Alvin TX? Or is that your first name?

dont mess with Texas!!!Nice truck alvin!!

[alvinator]

just a bit of a update. I decided to stick with the stock bench seat in the truck, so I sent it off to have it upholestered yesterday and will pick it up in 2 weeks (they close too early for me to get there after work.) Also, starting in 2 weeks, my son and I will be building the engine and putting it and the transmission in the truck, along with the rear gas tank. Just a FYI for everyone.

sweet , Gotta love progress.

Thanks for the update and good luck.

OOPS, almost forgot, you will have pics of the seat and the engine when done right?

[alvinator]

most definately will. Love pics!!! I am just trying to figure out what color I want to paint the tranmission. Either the same "Old Ford Blue" as the engine or do a aluminum/silver type of color.
