My dad just got me a sweet 1959 ford f100 for my first car.

There it is before its most resent journey home

Here it is at home.

It sure sounds good but it has no brakes so we will have to fix that before we can drive it

The ultimate goal is to make it a show truck but that will take several years.

Do you guys have any ideas on what I should do.

Neat truck, congrats !! I had a blue and white 58, and owned and drove it several weeks before my wife told me one of the tail/brake lights didn't work. After taking off the lens, we discovered it was a reflector and never had but one light from the factory ! These trucks have been ignored for years, but almost anything is available for them, good luck, and hope you enjoy it as we did ours, John

Hey, Lightning, seems like it was the right-hand light. Easy to check, though, there are the same fasteners, then when you remove the lens, a blank hole !! Speaking of the vintage "rim" look, we put some 8 x 15 Wheel Vintiques with 40's era hub caps and trim rings on several of our Ford trucks (the 58 included) and they looked perfect !

Nice car, you can change its head light & fix some new model. For it you can search on Google, there you can get lots of options for your car.

Hey guys. I found a power disc brake conversion kit on lmc for my truck and was wandering what you guys thought.

I have installed many boosters on early/mid 60's chevy pickups that have drum brakes. There is no need to replace them if they are in good cond. A booster will be fine without discs, unless you are hauling overweights or towing heavy trailer loads.
