This is a great site, but why no 1960 models?
I own a 1960 F100 and looking for a place to discuss its restoration.

1957-1960 is a different truck, but as you know does share quite a bit under the skin. We've got no problem with "fridge bed" trucks hanging out on our forum. If there is another site like this for your type of truck, I'm not aware of it.
A few owners here are multi-truck types, and may have both also.

Ivan. that truck looks just like one i saw in a Classic trucks mag or somethin' one time. I remember the black with apple green wheels (A classic Ford colour scheme from the 20's and 30's)
anyway tim who runs the MSN group is an active member here too. The Fridge style trucks are kind of Orphaned and we're happy to have a member who has one, in fact quite a few members of Tim's group are members here too.

Or even worse Chevies!
The only 1960 I ever saw was owned by a transvestite drug dealer! I don't want any of them in this group.
Well, maybe not a drug dealer, but he did drink a lot of coffee.
And I couldn't keep up with his wardrobe.
Come on. Grow up. Mature. Join the civilized world. At least buy a 1961.
FUNNY, had me thinkin for the first few words, then I looked at who wrote it and realized it couldnt be a flame
Ya had me goin Doc

That is a cool looking salt flat kinda ride! I like the fridge style, but they do need some love to be cool! There are a few local trucks around here, one in particuar is really nice, flat black, very low on a air ride style settup with the whole bed floor raised up. A friend is putting a MII in one right now also, cool trucks!
I always thought they looked like they were from the cold war era in Russia, very utilitarian/sturdy looking. And what a departure fromn 56 fords!
