Now that's a sharp one, I like the custom A pillar grab handles and steps.

Some day I will get my grab handles installed, thanks again for them.

I would love to know about the grab handles. My wife has mentioned the lack thereof and I'm looking at Jeep parts. I already have a Jeep. I would rather not pollute my Ford with AMC or Chrysler parts.

Looks great!

It's always fun to see another dent back on the road and looking better than ever.

Go enjoy the thing!

THANKS TO ALL, It was great to teach my nephew how to rebuild this truck, his younger brother wants to get into drag racing so the next build will be a newer mustang that i can teach him with but i will get to enjoy it before he gets it. I made Rich and i a pair of grab handles that worked out pretty well, the passenger gets in with ease and the driver no longer pulls on the steering wheel. I will post the wheel info later for the gentlemen that asked. THANK YOU again.
