We have mentioned in previous posts that we're trying to modernize our 1955 Ford F100 panel truck as much as we can. We're installing the latest & greatest in electrical wiring technology with our ISIS Intelligent Multiplex System. We also want it to drive and handle like a new truck, not like one from 1955.
We were lucky to find the exact chassis that we need for our truck. It came out of a 1955 F100 pick up but fortunately, it is exactly the same as what we need for our panel truck. We have a newly rebuilt Ford 302 sitting on an engine stand waiting for a new home. We also have a Ford AOD to pair with that engine. Engine and transmission upgrades will only get us so far in our quest to improve the drivability of our truck. To take it to the next level, we turned to the guys at Heidts.
We've blogged earlier about the hardware that we're going to add to the chassis. You can catch that posting here. We've just started to strip out the old truck suspension components off of the chassis. We have a few more days of prep work then it will be time to start welding in the new Heidts hardware. Check out this video showing off our starting point with the chassis.
We'll be shooting video each step of the way through the suspension install. So keep watching for more. Also, keep watching for more videos showing how we wire the truck using our ISIS Power products. You can catch the whole series on our website by clicking here.
