Project f100 : Rebuilding my stepdads pickup

HAVENT TAKEN A WHOLE LOTTA PICS, BUT THE TRANSMISSION IS BACK FROM THE TRANNY SHOP. IT HAS BEEN COMPLETELY GONE THRU AND REBUILT. ITS A C6 TRANS.

AND HERE IS WHATS GOING ON IN THE ENGINE BLOCK

 
Looking good. The C6 is the first trans I tore into. Not too hard to rebuild.

I saw on the Web where some guy restored a 1960 f100 and decided to install a Cat diesel engine in it.
 
Well I have been slacking on the pics, but I will try to step my game up on that. I finally decided on a paint and body guy, and this past weekend I dropped the truck off at his shop.

Good progress! Here is where the real work starts though... Stay focused! Don't let it turn into yard art (like I've done in the past)! :thumb3:
 
BACK FROM POLISHING, HAVE A FEW PIECES THAT WILL NEED REPLACED.












WOW! They did a great job polishing all the trim and grill! I think the trim and grill on my '69 is too sand blasted to get it polished like that. Plus, I will have to replace some pieces as well.

Looking good!

thanks. Yes, I'm pretty happy with the results. Now I just gotta order the pieces that he wasn't able to repair or that were already in need of replacement. You never know what these guys can restore, take a few pics to get a quote, they will let you know if they can get it back to looking good.
 
Very cool. I'm coveting the idea of a classic pickup. I wonder if it's harder to find parts (aftermarket/ performance, etc) for the f100 compared to c10s. What you think?
