Update

Its been over a year since I last updated my progress on my truck so I thought I would bring you up to date.
I have just had a new stainless steel exhaust fitted with side entry and it sounds awesome, I painted her early part of the year and I am on with the interior now, I have driven her on the road last week and was pleasantly supprised how she handled and I must have looked like I had escaped from a mental hospital as I had the biggest smile on my face ever
Will post some pictures later having trouble with photobucket or you could look in my garage.


Here we go.........














New exhaust







Just bought some american oak for the bed










Just doing the upholstery, never sewn before in my life




Not perfect but at least its all my own work

Hey F1trucking,
I took a look in your garage - that's a heck of a hood scoop you have there.
Did you supercharge your F1?

I don't think anyone on this end could see your photo link. I found the easiest way to post pics on here is to join - then you get rid of most advertising & you get a paperclip icon allowing you to post directly from your hard drive. I think it's $20/yr.

I spent some time up in Harrogate - beautiful countryside up there. You've got to be the only guy in the area with an old Ford truck.

I spent a couple days in Hull in the late 70's. My college soccer coach was from Hull. We took a two week tour of England, played 6 games. Our last game was with the Hull City Tigers U17 team.... they kicked our butts... Nice town, we frequented a few pubs.... good time

That must have been a fun trip. I played in college too but never across the Atlantic to play, but I did play for a Scottish team here in Houston after college. They were some excellent players!

F1truck, that is one fine looking truck you have! What motor do you have in it, any pics?
