My "new" seat from a 88 Ford truck.
I drilled out the stock holes where the bolts previously went, had to elongate the holes just a little. Then the stock brackets from the 68 bolted right up.

Nice. I did the "YoM" year of manufacture plate on my 67. Gives you that badge of honor for owning an old truck!

Not all states allow the YoM tags. Luckily you don't live in one of those.

Yes. I was happy to learn that Arizona had them available. eBay purchase and a couple of days later my F100 was sporting the old school plate.

Well the progress is slow. Saving money, buying parts, doing research, etc. etc.

I've picked up a E303 cam for my 5.0 in the truck.

Today I stopped by summit racing and scored a chrome universal tilt column normally $229 got it for $90.

Also picked up a set of four 20" wheels normally they are $200 each got them for $128 total, that's like $30 each. Score!!!
