'68 F100 project for Route 66 Trip

Post by ssgtos »

Hello Everyone,

Been enjoying the site for some time now. Thought it was time to say Hi!

Working on a 1968 F100, so my brother and I can make the Route 66 Trip for mine and the trucks 50th birthday.

The qoal is to have the truck look as much like it did as in '68 when it was driven off the dealers lot.

I'm the second owner of this truck and found it in a farmers field where it had been sitting for some time. Body is good shape as far as rust goes. Only one spot in the bed, that needs major repair. Have the truck taken down to the frame and just got the frame back from powder coating. Ready to but it back together. I'm sure I'll have lots of question for everyone, while I'm building the truck back up.

Thanks for a great site.
