my new American toy 54 F100
should be getting this next week all being well, needed something fun, and big engine, its a 1954 F100 with 460 v8 (7.4), explorer axle and flip
front.
first jobs will be air ride suspension and a 4 link rear setup!!
and a nice set of 20" 
needs work, but its only costing me $4500 (£3000) and its all on the road and running, so can be a daily drive while i fix it up
hopefully looking something like this when finnished, maybe not this colour, what colour shall i do it!!!!

Nice choice of engines you have there.
do you have a personal oil well, or are you single-handedly saving BP?

That is so cool.
I think you can go too low though.
If it looks right it is right.
I used to be apathetic but now I just don't care.

This one here is not far from me. They are a bit common though 
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

thats a 56, slightly different screen and doors, only made the 56 shape for 1 year, from the screen forward and from the cab back i think they are the
same, the 56 had a different dash as well, all that tooling for 1 year, was it worth it, but the Americans seemed to like to single year shapes, one
of the Ranchero pick ups (1972) was only awailable for that year!!!i bet that goes for silly money even in that condition
