Here are more pics of my 55 F350 I had in my camera and was just able to upload to my computer tonight.

Starting with my Ford Script Bed! Ha-Ha





I took that heavy tailgate and its chains off. I removed the red sideboards also and replaced them 2x8's.


Here is a pic of the interior and the original seat. I think I will ask the local Amish upholsterer if he can fix that hole, if he ever gets finished with my seat for my 54! They did a poor job of painting it 4 years ago. The didn't even take off the striker plates. But they did do a good job with the frame, axle and undercarriage. as you can see below.


Here you see the original 55 Ford shield tail light. The round lights look vintage too. All four, these and the two on the left side light up for tail lights, the Ford shield lights are the turn signals and all four serve as brake lights also. And I like the NAPA mudflaps.

 

That's the original fabric? If so, it's in really good shape! I assume that you are going stock with any work you do?

 

Yes, the original 55 seat fabric for the Standard Cab. The Custom Cabs had a choice of two colors depending on the body color.

Of course I will keep it stock! But I have to careful that I don't make it too nice that I am afraid to use it for work!

 

That's a NICE looking truck Abe.

 

Hey Abe,
What kind of work do you plan for your truck?
Helping with the soccer team?

Mowing lawns. I have 8 lawns I mow weekly, 3 family cemetery plots I mow Bi-weekly. Some of my clients want yard work done, like trimming bushes, putting down mulch, etc. I do mow the 12 acres of grass our soccer club has. The club owns a diesel zero turn Kubota with a 72" deck. So I haul the cans of diesel fuel to our fields when I need fuel.

 

Abe, It's time to take down the pic of the
bumpside and put up the 55.

 

I am working on it. You can only put one picture in your signature so my son put both trucks in one picture. He's been busy and I haven't figured out how to do it myself!

 

Here you go I figured it out with the help of my sister-in-law!

Out with the old (1970 F350) and in with the older (1955 F350)!

 

Great job Abe. All your rides are Awesome.
And I bet we haven't seen all of them yet.
