Beautiful, really like the colour and the motor looks like the crown jewels. It's going to look sweet when it's all together

Dmack,
Just a bit of advice about your bed wood. If the truck will be in the rain from time to time, I would not be using tounge and groove boards. The bed wood needs space to expand when wet. That is why Ford made a space between the boards with bed strips to hold them in place.

Perhaps someone with more wood working experience will chime in here to support... so I would trim the boards and rabbet them for the bed strips. Just my opinion.
