my wife bought me this:

79 SB F150 with 460 4spd and Dana 8 lug drivetrain....starting bodywork now

before pics:

 

my wife got me this to replace the 4Runner I totaled and broke my neck in 4 plcs....I had one in HS and missed it terribly and told myself if I ever get another truck, it will be a Ford Dentside...screw the new stuff

She said she was SOOOOO happy I wasn`t paralyzed that she wanted me to have it cuz she love me..............and now I love her like nothing else (`cept maybe the truck but don`t tell her I said that)

pondering a winch bumper but love the stocker too much to part with...would like to have cab lights on top and maybe a few spotlights, probably cage the cab but don`t like bed rollbars....my change my mind many times before its done

other than almost sure I`m repainting it the stock neutral-ish tan color, everything else will be updated....this won`t be a concours resto, show queen, or anything like that.....just want it to be functional, able to tow a camper, get me out of a tough terrain situation, and still get me to work everyday

 

Looks like a real solid start! Ill be watching you haha

 

Sounds like you are off to a good start, and it's good to hear you came through the wreck ok.

BTW, nice user name!
