A Great Big Thank You

Thanks to the outstanding members of this community my truck is finally DONE. Well done is a relative term as there will always be something I am tweaking

I wish I could thank each of you personally that has responded to my MANY threads asking for help throughout the last 4 years. Without the knowledge and willingness to share that each of you has exhibited I would never have completed it. I would also like to thank the FINE folks at MidFifty for stocking quality parts and literally making it SO easy to rebuild these trucks.

First 3 photos were taken today, many others of assembly on my site that I hope will give back to this community in the long run.

That looks great! Nice job! Congrats on your "completion" even though we all know they'll never be totally done.

I love the two-tone paint, different and really stands out and the stance looks great also. Indeed a job well done!

Nice truck, nice two tone, I like Kragars, and the old church and dirt lane were two great backgrounds for old Ford trucks.
