Family Tradition..

[k5 krawler 50]

Well.. i just wanted to post up some pics of the family tradition project. My Grandpa, Dad, and i are rebuilding this fine looking 55 f-100 up.. It is in mock up stage right now.. so it's quite a ways from being finished.. Anyways it has a pretty well built 390, a custom frame with 4 link rear, indipendent susp. up front, and coilovers all the way around.. Has a ford 9 inch rear.. This truck was originally purchaced by my great great grandfather back in 55.. Thats why we call it the family tradition.. here are the pics..

How's the truck coming? I had a '49 ford F-1 piclup in High School that I put an 425 BB in it.... Wish I could get it back...

Thats great!! Wish I lived near my dad, much less really had a project with him.

Almost started working over a 64 Chevy pickup that my grandpa bought new but it was too rusty and I needed a daily driver fast. Wish I had gotten my hands on it before he gave it away.

Nice truck!!!!! About 20 years ago, I cheated and put a 50 F1 on a 74 Ranchero frame. It sure rode a bunch better than the F1 suspension.
