Default Nice!
What's your plan for the powertrain??

I'll be really interested to see how this shakes down! I have a '66 F100 that I'm planning something semi-similar with. I'm still trying to determine exactly where I want to go with it though...

I sold my Holden HQ rolling chassis a few months back less motor. I have ordered replacement cradles, suspension, gearbox, brakes etc....
The engine is an LS6 2004 model. I will look at a TVS1900 or TVS2300 supercharger kit.






The ride height I'll be aiming at for the F100








The F100 weight was 4100 lbs im looking at 3600 lbs when finished.

The second red 1976 F100 is mine if you have any questions, it retains the I-beam suspension but it is on air ride. The first truck is a 67 F100 and has a modified front clip with double a-arms arrangement and air ride as well. I know the 67 truck very well too.

Luv the ride height of your F100. Notching the front rails of the F100 chassis will let the corvette cradle sit close to the chassis to give a similar ride height. Do you have any interior pic's of your F100??.
