69 Ford F100 WIP

Oooo another cool build, great looking engine.

Thanks.

Excellent Bump there, Lee.  A Bump is defined as 67-72 trucks because of the spear on the side.  I have owned a 72 F-100 and own a 70 F-250 Crew 4wd.  I have picked up two of the Bump kits so I can kitbash a Crew like my 70 just the same way that Ford did it in Canada.  Are you going to build a stock 69 or a custom one?  This Moebius kit is not quite correct in all details as the Ranger trim is too wide for a 69 and doesn't cover all the way to the tail light.  Also the 240/300 fuel pump is incorrect.  The radiator core support doesn't have an opening for the radiator.  The transmission is the Ford 3.03 manual three-on-the-tree so if you want to super-detail it, you can add the shift linkage and the clutch linkage.  Looking good so far so press onward.  

Thanks. Stock. My reference photo shows the fuel pump looks just like the kit. The trim, close enough lol. It may not be perfect, but what model is. It looks the part.

Lee, here is a good reference for the bumps as this is from the Ford Master Parts Catalog:

Lee;

 I have to ask .What color is that ? I have always liked the " Bumps " in Wimbledon White . I always thought it was a nice color and in real life it was tremendously easy to maintain and match if damaged . 

 You are doing a great job as always . Don't forget the color pallete for the interior on the base model six truck was limited .a Medium dark blue vinyl on the seats , dash pad and door panels . Others  were a dark Moss green , A medium dried blood Brownish color and Light tan or dark Brown with a Black Dash Pad .

 The Dash instrument cluster and details were argent ( a brushed silvery color ) and flat black ! Steering wheels were usually the base interior or in company vehicles just semi Gloss black ! 

 I have owned too many to count . P.S. The Knobs were a silver under a clear rubbery ( Hard ) surface T.B.

I mixed the color at work to match a photo. I think the ford color was phonecian yellow. I also have a reference photo showing black rubber floor mats, black dash pad and seats and arm rests, body color dash and door panels.
