Thats definitely a project!! With a little bit of work you can replace the bench seat you have with one from up to a 96 F-series. Thats what i did in mine. All in all looks like a good start! Got any plans for it?

That front license plate has never been more true. I love F100's. This is going to be a fun and rewarding project for sure.

That was a custom installation myself, i wanted the truck to have a more primal voice, Took mad skill to get it just right but I am happy with the sounds. Thats what happens when you dont start a car for 2 years then let me drive it for 2 days, I put it through hell and bet her to death, I want everything to break asap so I know where to start.

That was my favorite part, once the truck is all new and shiny I may keep them there just to remind me of her humble beginning!

My plans are slowly brewing. Starting this week she will get a rattle-can paint job and ditch the shell. but the future mods include moving the take between the rail and hiding the fill spout behind the tail light, VERY robust drive train, slight rake in her stance, entire body swapped out for non cancerous metal, new interior, ditch the dash pad, HID halo lights, convert to disk breaks all the way around, for starters

I want it to look fairly stock but have those little things that make her unique and mine and I want her to be fast and loud! id like to calculate gallons per mile not niles per gallon.

Right now she's my daily driver so I have to just get her up to speed and reliable.
