Looks good Justin....Looks like I'm getting REAL wood trim....Custom made....Kinda wantin' to do some wood burning on it....Maybe my name,etc....Something...

 

maybe f150? i know your from the south, but you dont have to have your name on everything, lol

and thanks! i just ordered the blue rocker switch's via ebay and the blue 194 leds as well , btw before i return them are you interested in the gauge overlays i had got?

 

never know man....Down here, somethin' THAT purdy would get nickered VERY quickly....

Like I said, idk yet....

 

Wes,
As an avid wood worker I suggest lots of practice with the iron if you are going to free hand the wood burning. If not I suggest getting a wood burning stamp that you can change letters in and such... either way you'll need practice before you take a run at the real wood. buring can be trickey if you haven't done it before... Hell even when I use my wood burning stamp on the furniture i've restored (and made from scratch) i get a little cockeyed some times... Just a heads up b/c I don't want to see a "WTF! I screwed it all up!!!!!!" post from you later... let us know how it goes!

 

Good advise Nathan.....I planned on making it something simple.....And something that if I DID sorta get it off center, it would look good...

 

This has been a cool build to follow. I am trying to do some body work too but am getting stalled by money and honey doos.

 

thanks vochy!

 

 

Looks good Justin....It'll look 100% better ON the truck...

 

I know how much a PITA the radiator support and all is I just finished up my 94 front end swap on my 90 f1.

Trucks lookin good BTW keep up the good work and pics coming lol

 

got the valance painted and the inner lh fender painted





and i did install my billet switchs


i did however get the gas tank pulled and the lr cab mount changed. what a pia! a little fire, lots of water, swearing, but its done !

 

Same boat... I have 15-20 projects running and the wife coming up with more! Plus we are looking for a house right now... And we're only operating on my single income since she is in school!

 

i just found your thread and was getting into the truck then i saw this! we have a '69 xr7 390 bought by the family in '72 it has 77k on it and we're getting it back into tip top condition again.

i have some 17s i want to put on it but i dont know what size i need for the front. i have some 255/55 i think? stuffed in the back now but dont know what size will fit the front. they are 17x9s

heres a pic but w/ the 14s on it

imo the 17x9 is too large with out doing a later model style chassis in the front



this picture give you a clearance perspective even though no fender,



this one give you a good idea of wheel well fitment



i dont have any pictures, in the daylight , with the 17's and the engine in
