About my F-100

1968 Ford F-100 longbed... lots of $$, blood, sweat, and tears to get to where it is today!
Used to be a old farm truck down Macungie Pa.In fall of 2004 not knowing where she was headed I saw this ol tomato farm truck for sale at a radiator shop in Emmaus Pa.,full of a assortment colors of brown red gray primers...LOL Oh yeah and rust just about everywhere....the rest is history.(300 six banger 3 speed on the tree with 33,000 orig. miles)she made it back to my house for some repairs just to rag around in it for a while.Next was to get it painted and restored in Williamstown NJ,3 years later a new motor (1986 302 5.0 HO )with plenty of work done to the motor with a mix of parts from a 1971 mustang fans and pulleys to a 1965 mustang carb linkage, bored out ,mild cam 600cfm edelbrock with a matching performer, HEI distributor, top loader tranny and many more goodies/ cant wait /thx for checking Ol tomater out!!

Great Truck. Always loved them. Had a 72 shortbed step side, but man, it was rotted to hell from these Pa. winters. I see you are familiar with Emmaus, Pa. My 56 ford f-100 was sold to a gentlemen in Sinking Springs, If my memory suits me. He owned a trucking company, Koch trucking. Lost touch with him over the last few years. the western smoothies always look FINE on these old f-100's. It looks like you a well on your way to a cool ride. Currently working on the fuel injection conversion for my ford, using an 86 mustang 5.0 with a c4 trans.. Good luck with your ride and Keep on Truckin'

listen man, bruce 60 is right about your truck being a hard year to deal with ! I personally know that because I owned one until I went to chevy.every book for parts seems to skip 1968 when you really need a oem part.again thanks for sharing your ride with me ....great job/keep on truckin

Great looking truck.  Love the work on the interior and motor.  I wanted to find out what size wheel and tire you have on the truck (front and rear).  Looks great.  I am working on a '77 F-150.  Thanks.

man that is one nice 68. i used to own a 68 long bed it had a 429 and c6 out of a 72 ltd in it .it ran pretty good it was a faded blue. the wife and i took some rubbing compound and shined the ol ford up front bumper and grill and rear bumpers were white.. lol i had to chain the left side of the motor to the frame because i kept breaking motor mounts after 2 i figured it was time to do somthing..well any way sir you have a nice looking truck if you get a chance go by and see my 76f150 on here ..well gotta go
