I've always liked the old trucks with the company wording on the sides, the wording on my dad's truck is perfect. And that is genuine patina. He had it painted by a portuguese guy in Hawaii who misspelled "construction", forgot the "t" my dad said it's fine and that's how it is. It's just over done by the rat rodders now.

I love my crew, cant wait to drive it. Here's a nice original 76 color. that I'm partial to.

I can understand the show thing, I'm sure it'll look great whatever you do.

The shapes of these trucks lend themselves very well to long drawn out 50's style scallops. Just a thought, sorry no pics.

Glad to see other guys on here now with bags and bodydrops, 2 yrs ago seemed nobody here understood what I was talking about lol good bunch of guys though

Hey bendog did you put those door handles on that blue truck yourself? I like those door handles.

Flatford Flat black a nice professional looking flat black. Stealthy looking! It would look like a carbon fiber fighter jet.
Hats off to all your hard work.

Thanks for putting the picture up. Ill give yall a little up date. I took the cab and bed off the frame I installed a Fatman mustang II cross member. And built bag mounts for the front. I narrowed the 9" rearend 8" for the new 10" wide rear wheels to sit under the truck. I thin blasted the frame and sealed it with new black paint. I channeled the body 2" over the frame so that the body would lay flat on the ground. Rebuilt the bed floor and sides out of flat steal.

Its gonna be ready for 2010 F100 Super Nationals!!!!!!!!

If anybody knows the secreat on where to get the grill bars like that I would like to know. I would guess it's custom made but the question is where to get the big piece of the bars?

Thanks,

Thanks,

Here's a place that you can buy one...Don't know the quality or the fit

billet grill grilles

I built mine out of aluminum angle from Lowes. It is pricey though

Unless you just want to build one and depending on the quaility of the grille that that sit sells I would say buy one. If they'll gaurantee that you'll be satisfied

What are you talking about we both have short beds bro.

I wanted the wheels and tires to sit under the bed good. I didnt bow my bed out and I have all my fender lip. I didnt trim them at all. My tires are about 1 or 1.5 inches from the fender lip. It looks to me I have a bigger tire in the rear than you too. mine is a 305/40.
