The show appears to be very selective on who gets in or not, as they have a right to do so. So don't think for a second that the show or Mr Foose came out on the short end of this thing. The Seal's story was very compelling and I'm sure benefitted the show. The fact that the truck has been sold and keeps popping up continues to give the show credit and free advertising. This truck was built for Mr Seal and he sold it - his right.

How many stories have we read here where we sell our beloved trucks for whatever reason only to try to recapture it years later? Mr Seal may eventually feel a similar remorse if he hasn't already done so.

I like seeing these old girls appreciate/appreciated

 

Where's the "Like" button??? I "Like" this, J!

 

it's in the top tool bar all the way to the right side... "Rate Thread"

 

LOL! Bill, I didn't want to rate the whole thread, I just wanted to "like" what Jason said....

 

I agree. I told my wife never to call that show for any of my cars. While I think they are a talented group, the stuff they turn out just isn't my taste. I think I would be in tears if one of my cars got "Foosed".

 

and if we had a real "Like" button, I would "Like" this one, too! LOL!

 

It's a nice truck. I'd give $14K for it, sell the wheels and tires, fix the suspension and put some reasonable wheels and tires on it and drive it.

As has been said, it's not any kind of collector car but it sure is nice.

 

That's exactly how I feel about it. I like having my truck. Anyone around Indianapolis who sees my truck knows who the truck belongs to along with knowing who is building it. I just couldn't see myself driving someone else's truck. As an example they put the MII suspension under the truck. After much thought I decided to go with a CV swap instead. Simply a matter of design. I believe I will have less problems out of the CV along with it being easy to get parts for.

Moving to the rear they ran a 9" with a 4 bar. Again another option I considered but I wanted something different so I went MN12 IRS. While Roush is a great name in Ford performance I want a 460 not a small block. Chip and his crew do great work but it is his work and style not mine.

 

What is your IRS? MN12 I don't understand...

 

The MN12 was the IRS put under '89-'97 TBirds, Cougars & Mark VIIIs. My build thread is https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...s-build-3.html

Ha!
I also told my wife to never call in to get my truck done....I could just imagine at the
unveil...(as I'm on the floor crying and sobbing)

"Well Jason, your 1965 F250 is now an F100 and we lowered the truck 10 inches for you (sorry Robert),
and got rid of the old stock rims and bottlecap hubcaps and you now have some beautiful Torque Thrusters
courtesy of our friends at American Racing!
The old classic sweep speedometer is now digital neon and we also installed speakers in the bed and your interior
got a blue velvet upgrade"!

"And your 1965 grille has been replaced with a custom modified 1965 Chevy grille from ACME Customs"!

Nooooooooooooooooooo!

 

LOL! Jason, I would have hit the "Like" button on all the things that you were "cryin" about until you got to the speakers in the bed, blue velvet and Chevy grille! Those would be definite "Unlikes"

Another thing I would add to list of mods for yours is cut that sucker in two and make a short bed out of it!!!

 

Well? after all of this? I'm now FOOSED OUT....LOL, I too agree with Jason'' would not want my truck messed up,I can do that myself!!...hahaha..

 

Yep, we've beaten this dead horse to death yet again...

I'm sure the next time this truck is up for sale, we'll all meet here and do it again.....

 

They call it SSDY..... It is Barret Jackson time here and it will come out of the woodwork for next year.
