Started Modifying

In these photos, the truck has been mocked up with the lowered ride height. Shown in the last two photos are the new wheels and tires. The wheels are from Early Wheel in Morrow Bay, Ca. They are the company's smooth center wheels with their "short bullet" caps:
  • Front: 16 x 6
  • Rear: 16 x 7
The tires are from Diamondback Classic Tires in Conway, SC. They are custom made radial tires:
  • Front: P225/75/R16
  • Rear: P265/75/R16






Also included are a pair of new reproduction 1949 Pontiac Tail lights which 
fit the factory tail light openings in the 57-60 F100 bed.


The core support and the tailgate have been sandblasted. 
The tailgate was repaired with a metal patch for rust. It is currently primered with epoxy primer
 The core support has rust issue and may need some work- or will need sandblasted again. It is currently rusty
