My '58/'59 F100 Project

April 2006: I've had this truck for about three and a half years now and all my
ambitious plans to slam it, restore the body panels and generally tidy it up have
fallen by the wayside. In reality, I use it to haul rubbish from the yard, and to carry my non-running bikes from
one place to another. It's become a workhorse: no bad thing, I suppose.

I did, however, recently treat the ol' girl to some vintage Ford steel rims off ebay.
I had to get the centres on the rear wheels reversed so they cleared the bed, and I added thin whitewalls.
Looks better than 12-slotter mags it had previously. I must take some better pictures ...
