skinnyman,
Nice photo gallery. I remember now. Yours & mine are one of the few standard cab 55's I have seen. Most people turn them into Custom Cabs. Nice Job. Kept mine 100% stock with no mods.

Great job! Wish I had your workspace.
My only question is why did you take off the Dukes of Hazzard front bumper?

Finally got around to checking out this thread. That's a beautiful truck Todd. You did a nice job of styling it up without throwing away the stock appearance. You could convince a lot of people this is just how they came from Ford.
