Hello from Camas WA

Hi Guys,

Found this site yesterday and thought I would do an introduction. We have had this 58 in the familiy for about 20 years. My brother has been driving it for the last 5 or so. He recently asked me to take it back while he went back over to Australia.

Lots done to it over the years: 302 and C4 conversion, Monoleafs front and back, disk brakes on the front from CPP. I just recently finished rewiring it. Nice new gauges from Auto Meter. Battery box installed under the bed. Bought a generic kit from Hot Rod Wires, followed the instructions and bugger me if the thing didnt fire right up! Very happy.

Next up - lower the tie rod so I can get the front lower. Source a used tailgate (mine was stolen years ago). Perhaps the Toyota PS conversion too.

Looking forward to hanging out here. Always happy to help with any questions.

All the Best
Russ

Very nice truck. I would like to see some more pictures. Have you seen our huge 57-60 Ford Truck group on Facebook. We do truck of the month/year. we share tips tricks parts and info about building these things. Here's the link. I hope to see you on both sites.

Thanks Bill. Sent a request on FB. Lots of pictures over the years. Dont know if she'd ever make truck of the month.... but beauty is in the eye of the beholder right? lol.

Definitely could use some help with the PS upgrade.

Sir your truck can be Truck of the Month. Just like the calendar we have, any truck can be in it. You can order them through Ebay but they are cheaper if you order through me. To find ordering info click on Docs on the right side of our Facebook group or email me at calinleir@bellsouth.net Bill
