Oz EconolineF100 Posted December 22, 2017 Author Share Posted December 22, 2017 Time to do a thorough inspection of some of the rust and found that the floor was very pitted in some small section. I was going to patch up some small holes until I found it was too far gone and had to do a bigger section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reamer Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Well done! Love the progress as well as the updates Please keep them coming. May I suggest the correct bumper for the rear and some "F" "O" "R" "D" lettering for the tailgate? Will really make it standout... I have the name of a vendor with the correct rear bumper, and I know someone that makes diamondplate bed-rail and tailgate protectors.......

Thanks Guys the plan at the moment is to just get it road worthy and add some safety features to it. I plan to get the rear bumper and would be grateful if you could me the info on the supplier. Do you know where I can get the rear bumper brackets from? Also, is the F O R D lettering on your truck painted on or is it a sticker kit? My plans for the truck once it's road worthy is to put a white stripe down the side and possibly paint the F O R D on the tailgate white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tailgate on my '84 has decals, which I had assumed were original since they're weather cracked from age, etc. I'm sure Reamer can confirm one way or another. I see they are available on Ebay... https://www.ebay.com/itm/TR102-1980-86-FORD-STEPSIDE-FLAIRSIDE-TAILGATE-LETTERS-F100-F150-F250/291414322034?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&var=590516188716&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649 Great progress on the truck by the way. I'm more or less in the same boat with my '84 Flareside. I'm working on getting the thing more road worthy and reliable before I get into the bodywork it requires. It is my plan to rebuild the bed next year (I guess "next year" is next week, isn't it?...LOL). Please keep posting up pictures of your progress. Love to see it.

Wood or metal floor flare side bed Yes please keep us posted with pictures on your work Dave ---- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it's been a long time between drinks. My wife has been pushing me to finish her 1968 Mustang so the F100 has been put on the back burner. Happy to report the 1968 is now finished (photos to follow), I have been made redundant from my employer after almost 30 years of service and lets not forget our incredible 7 week vacation to the US where we were fortunate enough to meet up with some fellow members. A little late but thanks to Dave, Vinnie, Simon, Chris, Ken (from NZ) and special thanks to Gary and Janey for welcoming us into their home. We've been back for 4 weeks already, have found a new job and have settled back into normality and am just starting to getting back into working on the F100 and waiting for my parts to be shipped from California to Sydney, Australia. Here's why the roofs of these trucks rust out from the inside - due to lack of any form of coating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
