Dennis just be aware that primers can usually allow moisture through to the metal so it is good to seal it up with paint and not leave it too long just primed.

Looks great Dennis.

I got some work done over the holidays. I got the inside of the cab sanded and primered and the 1st coat of high build primer on the outside of the cab. No picture of that yet.

That would look cool on a F100 with those rat rod type 20"+ wheels.

The frame on the 350 is heavier than a 100. The wheelbase is 20" longer. The front fender wheel openings are bigger on the 600. The cab size is the same.

I did a 56 F100 for my dad back in the early 90's. It was the same size cab as the F350. I also had a 54 in college that I had purchased to do a full resto on but I had to sell it to pay my bill and stay in school (I hated selling that thing!!! It had a rebuilt 239 and 3 deuces sitting in the frame!)

I think the only difference in cabs is the COE design which is really a different animal altogether.

Just curious, is there a difference in cab size between F100, 350 and 600, or is it the same cab but on a bigger heavier duty frame?
Cheers, Steve.

Some more.

Here's pictures of the body work. A lot of dings in the cab, it was a farm truck.

I haven't posted a while on the truck. I hurt my back picking the last of my lima beans, so I didn't get any work done in november. My older brother helped me put the camper in the garage, and the truck cab came out. It's primered outside and I think I can cover it to survive the winter.



The frame is on the trailer, I have to unload it every time I take a load of water heaters to the scrap yard. About every 2 months.
