Is that a period correct blue? I know they offered a darker blue color in the late sixties for other model vehicles but wasn't aware they actually offered it for the F100. If it isn't I would still be interested in what kind of blue that is. I was also curious how much of a lift that was, it appears to be 6"+ but sometimes photos can be deceiving.

Not ready to be back on the road yet but ive got 35x14.5s on it and need to put a leveling kit on it give me the clearance needed for 35s. mine got the stock suspension under it and has a 3" rake to it. go to the project updates and check out WTCfireguy truck, he put a leveling kit on his 70 and is running 35s.
With good front springs or a disc brake front end it will fit 35" 12"s just fine. Otherwise you get just slight rubbing on the steering arm at full lock turning to the right.
With a leveling kit and good rear springs with some minor trimming you should be able to run 37s.
When I get home i'll try and throw up some pictures of mine on 35s.
I know its not a ford but here is my toy. 22R motor 3" lift with 35's it has a header and a webber 2bbl carb and 2.5 exhaust and whats called a side shift 4speed just means the shifter is bolted to the side instead of through the top of the trans. I call it my Billy Goat it wasnt on there in this pic but i have a hood ornament from a late 30's to early 40's dodge truck its a big ram head .

you may have to make one as a lot of companies quit making stuff for the older trucks. It's the old supply and demand thing ya know. The bumpers i have are home made and i know a lot stronger than any you could ever buy for it. but you might try marlin crawler. Here is a link to the forums but you can find links to supplyer's there also. http://board.marlincrawler.com/index.php
