NOOOOO, 41 I was not suggesting that. I think your truck is a great example of a rehab antique. but it had other issues I saw.
your rig is a great example of fixing a truck.
I think G.W. has it in him to do one more category this yr.....Tribute Trucks!!!!
That's above a really good rehab.
Just found out about this thread hope Im not to late.
I have owned this truck since 2002.
56 F-100 Flatbed
292 V8 4 speed 2.90 rear end
Sorry these are the only pics I got...I put her to bed for the
winter last week.
Guys, I agree with Lenny, let's just withdraw the '41 and wait for a more appropriate catagory for it. I'm already a multi-year member/supporter of FTE anyway . And like I stated in an earlier post, the firewall is my trophy on this truck. Not that it's that great a truck, or not that great a truck, but I made myself tear up reading about it again .
I just hope everyone enjoys the truck for what it is, a sweet little ride that may mean a little something different to all who see her.
Thanks for the opportunity.

There was a suggestion direct from IB Adrian to do a "best of the best" final contest to recap what we've seen so far. I'm still puzzling over how to do that...
Just to clarify, I feel it's unfair strictly due to the back story surrounding our '41, Cancer is one of those things that invokes a lot of emotions in people, and I've worked hard with my wife to not "let the disease define us." There are a lot of gorgeous trucks already entered here, and hopefully several more to come.
Since I'm already a multi-year site member, I decided that it would be best to pull out so everyone feels freer to bring their equally charming and well deserving trucks to this contest. I like seeing the quality rides too, and every single truck here has it's own very special story I'm sure !
We all love our rides, I even TALK to mine, and they both have names, the '41 is 'Rose', and the '34 is 'Iris', I've told Rose she needs to be thankful to her big sister Iris for allowing me the time and focus to complete her this year. Our vehicle names come from my wife's mother''s and my mother's favorite flowers.
So good luck to all, I look forward to seeing all the great rides.
steve, as a two time cancer surviver myself, and having lost a handful of very good friends to this disease, i can relate to your open, compassionate, attitude on life. it is to be commended!!! we all need to remember that ----it is not the destination that counts, but rather, the journey, that makes us who we are! whether you are in this contest or not,---------------YOUR'E A WINNER IN MY BOOK------------------ and i thank you!
Fasten your seatbelts - "ROSE" is going to have a thread of her own, and keep an eye on what's happening with the Ride of the Week on the FTE home page.
I meant no harm.... I didn't mean for 41 to withdrawal nor did I suggest any other truck wasn't worthy. I just globed onto "Rose".
I appreciate all of the rides in this contest but....I'm partial to 1. Sorry if I F'd up the category.

Not at all. I think we all see that "Rose" is something above and beyond this contest - it deserves a full page article and it's own headline above it!
have been attempting to post pictures of truck, can't seem to do this. followed procedure as outlined--properties, url, copy, post, image, paste, ok----------not ok. seems like i'm having an issue. any suggestions???
Second, you prolly know this, but there's a little yellow and black icon at the top of the text box where you write your post......I just click that (it says 'Insert Image' when you mouse over it) and paste the url and click ok.
steve, i'm trying, just won't accept pictures! taking pics from gallery, rt click properties, highlite url, copy, go to post, click image, paste, then ok----------not!!!!! worked last time, i'm getting frustrated, but won't quit!!
