UPDATE 3: C & L's has relocated to beautiful
St. George in Southwest Utah, about 2 hours east of Las Vegas, thus delaying our project once again. The good news is that the truck is all painted and ghost flames have been buried deep into the front end. We'll be picking it up from San Diego soon and bringing it to it's new home.
UPDATE 4: Well the "Hanger Queen" (Naval Air term) is finally in it's new home. Door rubber is in, cab remounted and tilt front end is being mounted.
UPDATE 5: The wiring is being installed, we are using a
21 circuit EZ Wiring Harness from C & L's. Taillights, headlights, wipers and other components are being rebuilt and installed. It's coming together nicely! We joined the local car club, Kruzin Knights and been attending a few outings and shows.
UPDATE 6: Master cylinder and 9" booster, bought from
SSBC, have been mounted to the firewall and mated to the hanging brake petal. MSD ignition was also mounted to the firewall. The transmission cooler was mounted to the frame. Both these items as well as the billet distributor and Holley fuel pump were purchased from
Summit Racing.
UPDATE 7: Thanks to long time friend Tom King and his wife Kathie who visited for a week and got me off my butt and off work (don't tell
C & L's) to get some things done on the F100. He helped me with brake lines to the rear and fuel line and vent, mounting of the master cylinder and booster. We also corrected my mistake of not putting the oil pump drive shaft in during motor assembly.
UPDATE 8: Front grill, head and parking lights and bumper all have been installed. Final assembly of the Jag, greasing, adding fluid and installing a diff vent . (modified Rodstuff
9" Ford Rear End Vent)
UPDATE 9: The bed is complete, tailgate mounted and held closed by hidden latches. The bed wood was refinished by Laurie.
UPDATE 10: Another relocation for C & L's. We had a chance to buy property in the Northwest and we did. A new garage is being built and in the meantime the F-100 is being stored at my brothers place. We now live in
Seabeck WA.
