Pin stripes, logo and FORD on the tail gate were all "worn"? Not sure if they are old school or just made to look old. Either way they looked GOOD!

Nice truck! I like the toolbox. The writing is made to look old.

Nice truck. I like the toolbox too. I wish I had done that for my gas tank instead of under the bed in the rear. Then I could have hung the spare under there instead. I guess it's not too late.

I believe that Gary Stock lives there. He has had many neat hot rods over the years. A 40 coupe in the 70's that I remember and he was at the Springfield MO NSRA event a few years ago in a really neat F1. Talented guy.

Yes, Big Back Window. Sure makes it easy to see out of. Gray Stock I'll have to try to find him.

Nice truck! Ok Carnutt I have looked at the pics several times and have completely missed the gas cap. So where is it? In the tool box?

Did anyone say the tool box was a gas tank rather than a real tool box?

I didn't even think about it being a gas tank. I just thought it was a tool box.

Looks like a tool box to me. The drawer reveals are too perfect, and who would destroy a $1,000+ SnapOn tool box to make a gas tank?
