new guy new truck...

Post by blktopbandit »

hello, new guy here, and a new truck, 1961 ford unibody

i have been into hot rods all my life, and just picked up this unibody, it's rough so don't laugh. I am looking for some inspiration and pics on these. I want to lower it as cheap as i can.

There's a thread on lowering your truck, look at your own risk.

Nice unibody! I have a project too, mine sat for 7 years. Luckily, Ford built these things well so it doesn't matter, should be lots of fun. Welcome!
