I can't say how many hours are in this truck, but it's a lot. Now when I get this sold I will start another. I enjoy the builds a ton.

The old speed limit jingle of "55 stays alive" just about sums up this truck....

Beautiful. How much of the sheet metal is original to the truck? Who did your door panels I like the pattern/style of them? How long did take to get the hood adjusted to where it shuts real good?

All the sheet metal is original with the exception of the bed sides. I had a local upholstery shop do the work on the interior. And maybe a 1/2 days work getting the front hood to work correctly. But the Ford hoods are what they are.
