Looking for a pair of rust free (or close to) doors for a '59 F-100. Complete with guts would be nice. Thanks!

Building a '59 F-100 short box step side. I'm running Ford 15x6 steel wheels and planned on bias blackwall tires from Coker. I'd like a bit of a rake. Any suggestions on what sizes might look cool on here? Many thanks!

In one of my books, there is a picture of a factory built long bed unibody 4x4, but the caption does mention they weren't released to the public after testing revealed body cracks. If memory serves it was an all white one with 3/4 ton running gear.

Thanks! I'll have to check them out. If you don't mind my asking, what kind of wood did you use and how did you finish it? I wasn't planning on staining and varnishing, or chrome strips. I want everything to be new, but this thing will also see use as a truck, so I want the bed to be...

I'm starting with the bed of my '59 Effie and moving forward. Yesterday I removed the strips and took out what was left of the plank floor. None of the boards were good enough to take a pattern from, so I was wondering if anyone knew the dimensions of the pieces so I can make new? It's a '59...

Looking for some parts for my '59 F-100 step side: *Driver's door (with handles...glass condition not important) Some rust-thru on the bottom is OK as long as it's repairable. *Front bumper. *Step-side rear fenders (mine are great along the fender to box seam but rotted out at the front...

I'm in the beginning stages of tearing down my '59 F-100 short box stepside and had a couple questions. First, my truck looks to have been pieced together from several! The cab and driver's door have white under about 8 other colors. The passenger front fender was from a '58 I'm thinking...

Thanks guys! For now I'm looking for something that'll hold her up evenly on all corners and might be good enough to go down the road until I can find the correct wheels for the truck, or a set of mags I like, just to dress her up a little bit. I really appreciate the info! I can't wait to get...

Hi Guys. I just bought a '59 F-100 half ton short box step side. 292 V-8 backed up to a 3-speed column shift. It's a project truck for sure, but I've wanted a '57-'60 for a long time now and can't wait to get started. I'm somewhat new to Ford stuff and had a question for the experts: Right now...

I really wish I could afford to take a trip west and pick up a rust free, or close to it, example. Unfortunately I'm stuck shopping local. I agree though, the more I think about this one, the better it sounds to let it go and look for better. I've been a fabricator on and off for twenty...

Hi I'm new here, first post. I've been searching for the right '50s or early '60s project truck for a couple years. When I was a kid, a neighbor had a '60 F100 short box step side for sale. It had typical Michigan rust and a swapped-in 351, but I loved the look...the dual headlight grille, the...
