This is Henry in work trim, he's a 78 F350 long wheel base dump truck, only used on work days and never winter driven, a true rust free truck.

Henry was retired due to vandalism, When people in this town owe you money they destroy your equipment in revenge instead of paying their bills, at least it wasn't a $500k excavator. He is now sitting on a short wheel base 89 F350 frame and has a 75 8' truck box sitting loose on his back. The intent is to be back on this project by the end of April. Katy is almost done, get even project needs to be converted to a trailer and wooded out, then it's retirement project time. There's a F450 coming into the side shop and its donating it's rear suspension and axle, hydro boost system, motor and transmission. The ugly green truck is donating it's cab and front clip for modification metal. When done Henry will be a 5th wheel RV puller outfitted with a tire box, cat house attached to cab and a concert stereo and camera system. It will be unique.

This is 2/3rds of my stereo system, I'm still looking for some 5" and smaller speakers and a couple of horn tweeters. I know what it looks like but I'm really after sound quality as I have a 500 year range taste in music. I also enjoy being a dick and would really enjoy blasting some boom box with Stompin Tom Connors, Wilf Carter or if I'm feeling really ignorant I'll dig out a copy of Heavens just a sin away by The Kendalls. If you can't take the torture yourself how can you inflict it on others

Yeah, he's taken a good approach to the newer style flare. He only massaged the bottom quarter of the fenders so that saved a lot of shape work. Too bad I'm going the other way with my flares, I'm heading towards the 50's as much as possible with my build.
