Sell the gen1 and build a ‘69 f100 prerunner?

[PorterW1111]

I can’t imagine this build is less than $100K unless you are fabricating everything yourself. Even then I see it at probably $50K plus the donor truck.

That truck in the video i bet is even more than 100k to build. I would tone it wayyyy down. Just posted it to give an idea and cause that thing is just too cool.

Nice so if I got you right,its a GT350 engine with Gen2 raptor interior?
I beam or A arm up front with links in the rear.

street legal?

Those cabs are smaller on the f100 I actually think the mustang interior would fit better vs a full size truck.

but yeah high power motor. Slick, plush interior, ifs up front 4link rear. 2wd to save some cost. Maybe go 3.0 fox’s and some advanced fiberglass concept fenders and bedsides. McNeil has a nice glass kit but I’m not sure about 8” bulge

and yeah street legal, daily driver hah

Almost done with this gen 1 with 39s build, if you’ve been following along. But now I’ve got an itch to build a 1969 f100 after seeing that McNeil racing TT.

so should I sell right after it’s done as a fresh 39s build and build up a 69 with a SC coyote and maybe mid that new bronco grille and headlights? or drive the gen1 and keep the dream for another day?

Don't you live in/near Orlando? I could understand if you live out West (or travel out West a lot). But I don't see the point of having something like that if you never plan on leaving the state of Florida. Get a Whipple for your Gen 1 and RPG's bolt kit.

"Need" is not a topic in FRF haha. this all about want.

I have a very nice start for sale..its a 71 f100..( same body style as Eisenhowers f100) its i- beamed but it could be reconfigured if center mounted a arms is what your going for. 28" of travel with rear 4 link.it currently tagged and street legal. Was my dream build but I back burnered it after getting to busy with the business and just don't have much time to build on it anymore..its longer than a regular f100 due to its on an f150 frame and i pulled the cab back for better weight distribution.. shoot me your # and ill text you pics 760 368 7122 names aaron

Front grille is from a 1977 donor. Awesome looking build!

Nice I am loving the project but you need to know.

It wont be cheap.

It might exceed your plan time frame.

It might hurt your bank account.

You might face problems with the builder so you need to be careful.

You will lose the 4x4 which is a big advantage in the Raptor with having the extra travel over other 4x4 trucks.

You wont be able to go places with raptors due to the terrain and the need of the 4x4.

Even with the best builder these trucks are not reliable as a DD you need to have a second car in case things go south.

Good luck!!!!
