Awesome! I have a 59 F100 Custom Cab Styleside Longbed with a 390 and a C6 Trans. I plan on converting it to four wheel drive with 609 axles front and back, an Atlas Transfer case a big inch stroked small block with over 1000 HP. It'll have a custom interior and a modified bed to raise the rails to match the body lines and add wood to the floor. I haven't decided if i want to make it a short bed or not yet.. As far as paint the top will either be a copper color or a rich darker blue and the bottom will be a cream or ivory. I received the truck for my 16th birthday 13 years ago and have never driven it.

I have a 60 Panel..can I play?

It is kinda banged up in the front. I have a 57 and 59 front clip..I'm sure the fenders are the same, but will the grills, hoods etc all bolt on? I guess I'll need to use either core support with its grill.

Ray:
You should have no problem using either front end. The lower valance on the 59 and 60 will be the same.(ie square parking lights, 57-58 used round parking lights) You can mix and match the hoods. The 60 hood looks good with the 59 grill

I just became the proud owner of a '58 SWB about 3 weeks ago and just got the title transfered into my name yesterday. Its gonna be a "shop" truck in that I'm just gonna put a motor in it, undecided on that one still, upgrade the steering and brakes, clean out all the rat and mouse poop from the inside and giver 'er hell.
