Heavy Meddle 1956 Ford F100 Australia

Yes, folks, I'm back again with another F100 project! Can't wait to get stuck in! Hope you follow along if only for the laughs! Yes, that's right! We've got ourselves another truck to work on.

Still have the horizontal plate to weld and a gusset or two and then a couple of thick plates either side of the front end and she's done and dusted.




Here's a template I have been working on that allows for extra welding on the Jag spring housing. This plate is then welded to that bolted plate.
