Just wanted to say hello to everyone. I'm a darksider from central California and proud of that fact. 1956 Ford F-100. TCI Chassis with Mustang II and 9" rear. HO SBC with a Turbo 350 tranny. Shaved doors, wipers, and emblems. Painted and powdercoated bed. 18's and 20's. Saw the info from FTE and felt this would be a great place to come without catching heck because I'm running a Chevy in a Ford.

Hi Herbie,
Don't be so hard on yourself... The engine is hidden under the hood... Just teasing... I once thought about using a 4WD Subaru drivetrain in one of these old ford trucks, but I got over it.
Seriously, there are a lot of Ford guys here but this place is more about the build than brand loyalty. I admit to being primarily a Ford guy but that has more to do with personal preferences and what I'm used to than brand loyalty perse'.
Welcome and we hope youn will be contributing.
Later Man...

Re: Central California
Welcome herbiehusker! I won't give ya heck on the GM engine, at least yours runs, lol.
And Dave nailed it, at least in my mind, this forum is more about the build process.

Re: Central California
Welcome to the site. You're definitely in the right place. My F100 is also chevy powered, but I'm not really brand loyal (well maybe a little), just like building something different. Glad to see you drive and enjoy your truck.

Hi there Herbiehusker
Welcome to the Darkside. Thats one sweet looking ride you got there. You really did it
right with that nice new frame etc. I'll bet it really handles nice. Good luck.
I'm over in Napa County.
