I just heard about this wed page and couldn't get to the computer fast enough!! I'am 80% finished with my son's first truck. It's a 1968 f-100 swb on a 1979 f-150 4x4 frame. We have put in a lot of time and sweat in this project. We have 7 trucks total for parts 67'-72. Just picked up one in mississippi with 62,000 miles. Next project!!!

I had a 1968 swb 360 with a 3 speed, chrome spoke rims and 50 tires. My dad bought it in 1981 for my 1st truck ($500). Now that my son turned 16 and got his Lic. This is going to be his truck. Built from the ground up. Not bad for a High School Senior.
