OK body update some will like other won't so I'll live with it. This truck needs to be built now, photo shopping and wondering what to change wont get it built......

First point the 76 cab is getting 67-72 sheetmetal at the front and doors skin parts (ie: door handles) on it. The front grill design I prefer to the original 76 models.. When you look at the pic's remember to picture this 5 inches off the ground and with 275 tyres on the front.





Getting close to the ride height



This photoshop would be close, it still needs the side curves removed. The unibody and the fender joined and filled smooths the lines out. One thing that spoils the shape is the body gaps, in my design im removing as many as possiable. With only door gaps, bonnets gaps and tailgate gaps makes the look of the Effy a lot cleaner.







This truck covers most of the body mods, there will be no roof chop but the side curved panels on the 67-72 will be removed. Another mod is to weld the front fender on to the body removing the gap and only ending up with the bonnet panel gap, door gaps and tailgate gaps. The rear will be a unibody design using a LWB skin..... Trying in the design too smooth the F100's body lines out.



Now what colour???
