guys i have to say that B/B's truck is really sweet though it's a honor just to be there with a truck like that.

Big Thank For All Your Support You guys the comp is really tough to tell the truth i would have voted for B/B's truck if mine was not in the running. i guess when you own it you don't see it as others do because when you own & drive it you know all of it's lil quwerks and problems and at times they over shadow the true beauty of the ride

I guess that clinches it - congratulations are in order to B/B ford, who will be recieving the One Year Membership for first place. Congrats also to dawgs 150, bigearl1369, and all the other finalists. They really have some honest to God stunning wheels and then some...

I wish there could be more prizes, but then again I guess Ken Payne has all the bumper stickers and hats he could possibly want!
(His Rousch 150 truck has made it into the top ten at least twice now)

If B/B ford would like to tell us a bit more about his definitely show stopping machine that would be great. I wonder if it was something that just happened, or whether it was planned from day one to be that truck and nothing else.

In either case, happy Labor Day!

I'm inclined to say the next contest will be Antique and Classic Ford Trucks - defined as twenty five or more years old and either vintage or special interest vehicles. They need NOT be one hundred percent original.

My thanks to Greywolf for all of his work in running and organizing these picture contests.

I would like to also thank Adrian and FTE for the membership prize.

And last but not least I want to thank eveyone for the kind comments about my truck, and for voting for it.

Whoo Hoo!

I'm late in acknowledging this honor because I just got home from "Lost Wages" Nevada.

I was bitten by the "Classic Truck bug" about 10 years ago while helping my son build a 57 chevy truck.(his choice my money) I wanted one of my own and I have loved the old ford trucks since my high school days.

I bought mine as a basket case 9 years ago and started dismantling everything. My intentions were to build a Sharp! daily driver, but I,m sure most of you know,one thing leads to another and before I knew it my truck was evolving into a "clean streetrod" for weekends only.

I did much of the work myself but had to farm out a lot also. Such as, body, paint, upholstery, and engine build.

I started driving it on the street 2 years ago and I am still doing things to improve it.(are they ever done?)

All I can say now is "I love my truck!"

and Thank You all!
