Re: jercasche's 64 f100 swb
I keep picking away at the upgrades to the interior. A new rubber floor mat was ordered and will hopefully be installed soon. The entire dash was scuffed and top coated. It is taking a little bit longer to get put back together but should be done soon as well. An additional lap belt was bought to gi...

Re: jercasche's 64 f100 swb
Here is the picture from the drivers side of the dash and newly insulated floor. There is some buttoning up to do yet to get it back together. The goal was to cover up the radio patch and that looks pretty good right now. It wouldn't take much more effort to top coat the rest of the dash so it all b...

Re: jercasche's 64 f100 swb
The tubs were both finished and painted. Another project is to paint the entire bed. I got tired of looking at my primed transmission hump and decided to pull it out of the truck. I painted it black and then put some sound deadening insulation on it. While the paint was curing I decided to paint the...

Re: 1966 F100 Short Bed Styleside Metal/Body/Paint Work
Nice work on the metal work. I wish I could have the patience to get mine that nice.

Re: jercasche's 64 f100 swb
Progress has been slow on this mini tub job. Finally the driver's side is done and painted. 12837 I finally started on the passenger side this month and have made it to the point where it is all tacked in and a little finish welding before body work is needed. The passenger side has flown going toge...

Re: jercasche's 64 f100 swb
Thank you, Doing this mini tub job has upped my confidence with metal work and welding. Now I am contemplating attacking the rear cab corners and starting some of the body work. Whoever did the body work previously cut a few corners and the major issues are starting to show in a few areas. I am pret...

Re: jercasche's 64 f100 swb
Got the drivers side wheel well welded in most of the way. There is a little bit of cleanup and a little filler to finish it off. This side was made much more difficult by trying to wire weld the panels together. After changing the setup to MIG it went much better. This is my first time welding toge...

Re: jercasche's 64 f100 swb
A little more progress these past couple of days. The wheel well had to be opened up a tad larger to allow for the backer piece to be welded to the bed. Here is the wider wheel well opening and the backer piece welded in that the wheel well will be plug welded to. The wheel well will be sealed with ...

Re: jercasche's 64 f100 swb
Here is the driver's side wheel well cut out. I left 4" along the bedside of the original and will end up cutting off some of the edge of the replacement ones to butt weld them together. The total width gained will be about 2 3/4" in the end. 12755 Here is what is left of the bedside. I th...

Re: jercasche's 64 f100 swb
Here are the driver's side spot welds drilled out. 12754 The new wheel wells I ordered from Dennis Carpenter for a Bronco. It looks like they are very close in dimensions and will work just fine. The round wheel tubs just aren't the look I am looking for and they should look close to factory except ...

Looks like you are making some good progress. Keep working at it and you will be on the road in no time.

Re: jercasche's 64 f100 swb
RC, I am not sure on what one to get. You need a dual reservoir master cylinder for a drum/drum setup. The only components are a plunger which is fairly universal that goes from the pedal to the back of the cylinder and 2 bolt holes on the firewall to match up. The one that I got required no modific...

Re: jercasche's 64 f100 swb
I decided to get new shoes for the truck. They are 17x8 wheels. 12717 After I drove home from the tire shop it was discovered that the rear driver's side tire rubbed on the inside of the wheel well. It looks like the ridges and a dent pushing it in were the culprits. The front wheel and tire combo f...

Re: Stumped by Speedometer
I bought an Auto Meter GPS speedometer and love it. The only downside is that it takes about a minute to link up and give you a speed reading. I kept breaking speedometer cables on my old factory setup and it also jumped all over the place as well.

Re: jercasche's 64 f100 swb
A little break from working on the truck and time to show off some progress. The Texoma F100 Roundup was May 5th and the whole family went. It was great because it was in a park connected to a zoo, there were food vendors, and we were under trees to keep the heat down. There were over 120 Ford's reg...
