I know if this post has already been done in the past, it probably has. But I like to kick it off with a then and now post of your truck. Even if your truck is not finished post a pic anyway......

 

Nice job there mate.

 

Nice blue truck you have there Aussie 53!

Here is my before and after..... Year 2001 (the bedless bondo buggy) and then 2014.

One of my favorite trucks on the whole forum. You and the rest of your forum F1 buddies are going to cost me a whole lot of money soon. I've resisted these voices in my head for a long time.

 

You mean voices that say stuff like...

Fenders, oh Fenders. You know you want me. You know I can make you very happy and you can do things to satisfy me like no one else. Come'on Big Boy. Are you man enough?

Resistance is futile.

 

Yes, those voices. The ones that say things like "Are you seriously going to pick up the family christmas tree in a lowered truck with IFS, flamed door panels and shiny dash *****?". I really do need a stock F-1.

BTW, my property looks like a Christmas tree farm. This reasoning may not fly. I'll think of something else.

 

Pic#1= First bought Pic#2= kind of recent, B4 front SS bumper.

 

some nice looking trucks so far, a lot of F1's that you hardly find back in OZ, mainly 53's to 56's down here. But there a few F1's floating around.

 

Ok - I'll play.
