New 1963 F250 Build

[1963fordmiller]

I am new to the site and just picked up my first project. It is a 1963 Ford F250. I just moved to Iowa from Gilbert Arizona and can't get over all the rust. Guess I will get good at welding patch panels. I plan on doing a simple shop truck theme with this project. I attached a picture of the interior as it sits now. I tried to post picture of front of truck but got message saying Attachment quota met.

I am living in the Des Moines area (Watrous and Fluer). Finally got the rest of my family here and trying to settle in. I am hoping to start meeting people with the same intrest as mine, old Ford trucks. My current daily driver is a 1979 Ford truck. I wish I would have kept it but I sold my 1959 Ford factory 4x4 in Phoenix before I moved.

Welcome from northern Illinois.

Give it a little over a year, and most of us will be coming to you. Slickstock 2014 in Altoona.

Lots of members in your area. There's a shady character with a perpetually unfinished chop top around there too!

Are there some pretty good wrecking yards here in Iowa to get parts? I was down in Pella and found a place called Doug's 4x4. He has quite a few old cars and truck in his yard. I have contacts back in Phoenix for rust free parts but if there is a local guy I would like to use him. I need a tailgate for the 63. It has the wrong bed (57-60) bed on it. It is also a F250 so I am trying to decide if I want to keep the 3/4 ton suspension or change it out.

Doug's has a lot of trucks and is a bit high. Car Country over here in Newton has some older stuff and I plan to head out there tomorrow to look around. There are quite a few of us around the Des Moines area so hopefully you will be able come to one of our get togethers.
