That looks great, for original paint it's awesome. Not too many around with it's first coat of paint. She's obviously well cared for.

Thanks. The truck had 44k miles on it when I bought it 9 years ago. I'm the 2nd owner, an old fellow had it before me and used it just for vacation. I love the truck.

1979



Sorry is a little small but this is the before.


And the after
It was a total loss by the insurance company due to the fact that the roof and the windshield cowl are not avaliable.

That's a good idea that third brake light! I've looked at the Ford oval hitch brake light that glows blue until you apply the brakes and then it's red but I'm happy with the one I've got now. Any idea where I could find a third brake light to mount on the toolbox? Or how to do it?

Here's a picture of my F100 at work:



Here is a couple more at the local winery:





Here's a shot during the repaint I did 10 years ago:



Since these pictures I've installed grey carpeting and coated plywood under the toneau to get rid of the bow look of the toneau.
