All those trucks look good! Ever thought about leveling the front of yours Spencer?
I got the cedar shakes and posts on the front of the house stained today. Hopefully it'll hold up for a few years. I used a good semi-transparent stain/sealer.
Here's my current truck:

Good evening Ford Fans'. A little busier in here today. ( I like it, Thank You )
Welcome to the Oregon Chapter SpencerS.
Been a busy and annoying week already, a lot of stuff to get delivered and a lot of traffic in the way.

I've thought about getting the passenger frame rail straightened in the front so the bumper will sit level, but hadn't thought about levelling the whole front. Would I do that with an add-a-leaf thing or new shocks? Btw, the front is pretty heavy (AC 6.9, dual batteries, large bumper, etc)

Good morning everyone.
You'd probably need to do an add-a-leaf and new shocks, but if you have the TTB front axle you'd probably need to lower the center mount also. It's a lot more work on a leaf spring TTB setup. If you have a solid front axle you could do a reverse shackle kit, which is pretty simple to install.

To each his own though. I like my trucks to sit close to level, but with the rear still a bit higher unloaded so it will sit level when loaded down.

Good evening folks, nothing to exciting is Lakewood WA today. I'll finish up here tomorrow and so I can be home for Friday.
On another note, anyone know where I can pickup some factory hub caps for my 72? The tires I got are on OEM ford rims and I thought the original hubcaps would look pretty good.
