Got my bumper back from stripper's on Friday. Primed and painted today. Going to let the paint cure for a couple days then mount it up. Been working on getting everything together to wire in a 4-way 7-way trailer receptacle.

 

Got the painted bumper mounted. Also mounted the draw-tite receiver hitch and wired up the 7-way trailer receptacle. Also installed all of the exterior trim and badging. Hopefully windshield will be going in tomorrow. insurance and plates not too far in the future.

 

Glorious! Your Highboy is incredible! Love the gorgeous green paint, your perfect interior, aluminum slots, on and on....every detail is perfection! Job well done, can't wait to see many more pics of it once you start enjoying it out on the open road!

^^What he said. I hate it when people do that, but in this case there's nothing I could say any better.
Nice job hickory .

 

Thanks for the compliments gentlemen. Windshield goes in tomorrow. Found a glass guy from my friend who is also a car and truck guy. He found an original ford tinted windshield from his supplier. $165 plus $90 to put it in. I have both plain and slotted for wide trim weatherstrips, but it is going to be plain for now as my stainless trim is not that nice. When I find some or have mine restored I can always have him swap it out. I did the rear window but don't have the guts to do the front.

 

nice looking rear bumper,just a natural

 

Yep, that's what I like about it. That's what a lot of them had dealer installed from what I can find. Thanks to Rougeriver's generosity, I finally found a straight one.

 

Bumper looks great! I have the same on my truck , its in great shape but starting to see a little surface.

 

Wow! Looks sharp!! Nice work!

 

Looking awesome Hickory! I think I saw in another thread that you were looking at getting wheel lip mouldings. Might be a little late but I wanted to throw out that I got the ones from Dennis Carpenter for I think $150 for the set of 4. I was really happy with the fit on them for the price.

Just thought I'd chime in with that. I think it would set off the looks of your truck even more having them on! Nonetheless awesome job!

 

Thanks twofifty. I am glad to hear about those mouldings. I plan on getting a set soon.

 

Your truck is awesome. I like the color combo and all the work is super clean.

 

+ 10 what's said above. Time to enjoy that puppy now rather then wrenching very carefully.

 

Thanks. Feels nice to being this close to enjoying it. I'm sure you are doing the same.

 

Thanks for the compliments.
