my new toy 54 ford f100
as long as i everything goes smooth next week, this should be my new toy, 1954 f100, with a 460ci (7.4 litre) v8, for explorer axle, and a flip front,
first jobs will be air ride suspension and a 4 link rear setup!!
and a nice set of 20"
needs work, but its only costing me $4500 (£3000) and its all on the road and running, so can be a daily drive while i fix it up
hopefully looking something like this when finnished, maybe not this colour, what colour shall i do it!!!!

Don't say that! I'm gonna have to start sweet talking the ladies at the bank if thats the case! LOVE 40's and 50's American trucks and an F100 is right at the top of my list of vehicles to own.

Very nice mate, not a great fan of Yank tanks but that is lovely, loads of character and definitely very different. Paint it something lairy so that not only will you hear it coming you will see it coming from miles off.

they are not dear, mine was more because of the flip front, suspension, and its on the road, but you can get them for $1000 or less if you know where to look, ship it as is then sort in uk, i done have anywhere to work on one so i had to get one sort of done.
here is a complete runner for $750 (£500)

the container bit of the trip is about £600, then you have duty and vat, i'm hopefully getting round the duty and vat because by the time i ship it i will have out here over a year and owned the thing 6 months, hence the 6 months before it comes to the uk, i know of one in florida thats for sale with v8, thats on the correct side of the country to not need shipping to far
