Very pretty truck! Welcome. That's an interesting front bumper. What type of hood latch does it have? Where's "Appleton"?

(I got all excited when I opened up your album. I thought the hot chick sitting on the tailgate of the 75 at the bottom of the page was your picture. Then I realized it was just showing the most popular albums on FTE....oh well)

Nice Truck. I'm a sucker for two-tone on bonus-builts.

Nice truck. However, it has F2-F6 front fenders. I don't understand when people spend money on a restoration and don't even take the time to find or repair the correct sheetmetal and parts. It's obvious that the prior owner spent time and money on this truck.

Also, the right side lower hood molding bar trim is upside down.

Nice truck. I like two-toned paint too. Looks like it might have a Chevy front bumper....

I paid $8,100 for the truck.

The person before me did a lot of work. I just need to put the finishing touches.

I'm not sure where the bumper is from.

Thanks,
Todd
