68 crew cab project
Just brought home my 68 F600 crew cab and now starts the long road of my next build.

Re: 68 F600 crew cab project
Im looking for a 149-151" Ford 34" wide frame to put the cab on along with a short bed I have off a 68 and front clip off a 69 and a spare 68 steel grill I'm going to chrome. I will most likely use the 393w out of my other 68 and a Mazda 5 speed.

Re: 68 F600 crew cab project
Yes I do have my work cut out for me. with this build I'm going to show off my skills and get a little more creative on it. With my green 68 I stayed conservative on the mods done to it because it was a to nice to cut up all that rust free metal.

Worked on getting it stripped down to take it to the dipper to see what I have to work with.

Re: 68 F600 crew cab project
I guess I'm going to use a 69 f100 4x4 swb frame and splice in the needed length under the cab.

Re: 68 F600 crew cab project
So, if you axe everything between the cowl seam and the seat hump and put little truck stuff on it'll be easier right?

Re: 68 F600 crew cab project
No I'm going to do it a little different. The big differences is the trans tunnel and cab mounts. The floor pans are the same, just there is a hole in the floor for the F600 column. The most of the rust on the cab is the driver side floor and driver side roof drip rail so putting in a new floor pan will do away with the steering column hole and driver F600 cab mount. I am going to drill out the spot welds for the pass F600 cab mount and replace both mounts with f100-350 cab mounts. The rear will either be cut down and boxed or replaced with a F100-350 rear cab mount. As for the brake pedals and steering column holes and locations it is up in the air what I will do.
