Im really considering selling my other projects for something new. A 1953 F-100 to be exact. Not sure if I want to yet or not but I like the body style of the truck. What do you think IA?

Would be a "do things as money allows" type project. It would be hard but I really like this body style truck too so thats why Im not sure :cry:

Imo it's easier to work on something you already have even if you sell it when you're done. lol ;)

$100 for that or $1000+ for another rusty truck :thinking: I think you will be hard pressed to find one that isnt rusted for a decent price.

Done that once already, not my time to do it again......yet. :D If I made the money to do that car right (body work and such) I would have it. My dad had a 69 numbers matching 440 that would check out, as well as a 65 with a slant six he drove daily for YEARS. Not as desirable to people, but it's something I hold memories with. lol

well if you have a muscle car then ditch that rust bucket and work on it. a nicely redone dodge is better than any ford anyday.









well hell thin air is better than ford
chevy ftw :)

if you think you can restore something like that go for it. Those trucks are awesome

It has probably the same amount of rust as the truck...
