The original owner had it designed and fabbed up. So one of a kind. It does come in handy for all sorts of stuff.

Thanks for the compliments, I should have done a before and after..

Who know's, they did so much damage it could not be shifted out of park. The gear selector is completely broken. I could not even get the key in there to attempt to start it.

Ford trucks of this vintage are so easy to steal that it isn't even funny. Obviously, an amateur crook didn't know about the PATS and wasn't able to get away with it. You can tell it was amateur hour by the amount of damage they did to the door handle and the interior...

Too bad you couldn't have caught him in the act...

Well they had already stolen a F250 down in Denver then came this way. Cops found a discount tire receipt with my information in a town further down south from me....needless to say they were looking for me! But yep, definitely seemed like amateurs.

Boxes in the garage are cool until they take up space like your saying.

I have a set of Headers waiting, desperately need a solid weekend for them.
