"married with children" - - - are you a shoe salesman?
As far as the truck - GO FOR IT !! I've restored six classic cars (mustangs/thunderbirds) but have enjoyed doing this truck more than any of the others.

[quote=1971 Farmer-250;9479080]Nicely Done! Is that the rear of a '69 Mustang Fast Back I spot? I actually started restoring my '71 F-250 for the sole purpose of trailering my '70 Mustang.
Yes sir. That is a 69 Mach I - my pride and joy. Funny, that is the same reason I restored this truck - to trailer the mustang. Once I get the a/c back in the truck, I'm ready. Here's a picture of the Mustang.

Not intended to be a daily driver - actually plan to use it to trailer other cars. BUT - I am finding myself driving it around quite a bit these last few days. I really enjoy driving it and it gets lots of attention.

that might look good, but it's not quite the look I'm after for this truck. I have the "hubcaps" and beauty rings on my 52.

little secret about these trucks :)
once you learn how to drive them and what they can and can't do you will find your self making up reasons to take the truck instead of the others *mabey not instead of that sweet 'stang but still..* my wife just bought a nissan frontier and i like it. but i love my truck. i got a daughter who is 14 soon to be 15 guess what car she is gonna learn to drive in?...... ....... .......... ......................................... DAMN SKIPPY HER MOMS NISSAN NO WAY IN HELL AM I LETING THAT RANK AMATURE NEAR MY TRUCK *SHEESH*. my wife wants to eventually size up to a full size truck toyota asked me if she could practice driving my truck...... i told her yeah you can "practice all you want sit behind the wheel and go vroom vroom vroom. but if you want an old truck to learn to drive truck and play bumper car in you can go find another redneck to marry cuz this truck is MINE! and yeah i can pull a dent don't mean i wanna just so as you can go oooops won't do that with the tundra GAAAH!

You are right about driving these trucks - I love my old 52 also - but - with no power steering/brakes, it's not nearly the fun to drive. I wound up going and getting a set of seat covers to cover my new seat covers so my dogs can ride with me - just couldn't let them get paw prints on the white seat areas.
I think you should get your daughter a beater chevy to learn in - no great loss if it's wrecked!! ha ha
