I am always impressed with your talent. Good job Scott

 

Awesome truck, I really like the side boards and tool box.

 

Nothing short of awesome!

 

Thanks guys!
I'm itching to drive the old girl, but so much snow and ice(and road salt) out there make it unlikely.

 

You got more snow than we did Tinman and I don't see my truck on the road till spring.

 

We've gotten used to fairly easy winters over here.....this one has been fairly harsh so far.

Any updates on your truck progress?

 

Scott,

I finally caught up with your build pics and it's looking fantastic!

I'm sure you've heard it 100 times: You created the best 50's era extended cab I've ever seen! Ford couldn't have designed it better!

I believe I'll have enough room in mine but I'm green with envy about how much room you have in your cab!

I hope to see yours in person someday.

I should have mine running by the end of the summer. It's a real test of perseverance and yours has really paid off.

Great work...

 

This truck and picture is So cool. Thank you for sharing.

 

Just looked through your entire thread, AMAZING!!! Very good job.

 

Thanks for all of the kind words. I've been driving the COE a bunch this spring.
Still tuning and tweaking a few things, but it runs and drives great.
Not the most practical truck, but sure is fun!

 

Oh c'mon Scott! Practical? Here on FTE? Don't forget where you are, and I agree with the whole lot. Your cab over and the low-buck approach combines into a really great thread!

 

sorry to bump an old thread, but this is an awesome build, just read all 46 pages, lol. GREAT work.

 

Thanks!
I go back and read it once in a while too......it's a great reference for me cause I can't remember sh__ anymore!

 

 

Bullfish, welcome to FTE!
My truck has a hopped up 300 six with a T18 4 speed and a Ranger OD. All of the details are in this thread.........yes it's kinda long winded, but worth the read if you have some time.
