My truck and my dads blue 88 F-250 351 in the background. And my mom's Mercury Cougar XR7. Also a 1980 E-350 I-6 and a 92 Thunderbird sit in this driveway. We are a family of Fords dating back to my grandparents first in the 50s.

Nice pictures, looks like ya need to hold on to that one. Can't wait to see the lifted pic's. Appreciate it
When I purchased my truck their were two one black and one red like your's I was gonna get the red one because it had the nicer 60/40 seats and a built in tach, but after driving them both for a while I decided on the black one besides I have never owned anything other than black on a truck well I do have a little tan/gold on the bottom know so maybe I am transitioning haha. Maybe we should start an eddie bauer section hmmmmmm??? Again good looking truck can't wait to see the lift.

Is that bed cover one of those electric deals or roll up type thing? Hmm if I were your age with a nice looking x-cab you could bet a few 15's would find their way behind the seat. Have you tried the turtle wax color cure? It comes with a stick for filling in scratches nix etc. but if you use the red stick supplied it will turn the scratch black don't ask why but it does, so I would not reccommend that part. However the color pigment added to the actual wax does wonders on the paint my wife used it on here red car and it looked very good made it deeper looking and I used the black again very impressed. Just thought I would throw that out there, later

The tonneau cover is a Pace Edwards roll up type, not electric. For 650 installed it's not a bad cover. The box in the front is pretty short so it doesnt take up much room, the only thing i don't like about it, is that i had to drill holes in my bed, because for some reason i didnt have a drain hole already. There are tubes from the bottom of the box that go to the drain holes in the bed to drain all the water off the cover, it all rolls into the box and out. The only other thing i didn't like about it was that you can't have anyhting in the stake pockets, i had to take out the tie downs, but you can notch it so you can put them back in. All you do is unlock it, it has a spring loaded retracment so it just rolls itself up into the box and out of the way. It was my first accessory to add. Tomorrow i am putting the front brake lines in, and in the middle of next week the lift will be on. I'd say next weekend i'll have the pics up for you. Just add two and 1/2 inches to what the back end looks like in the pics i sent you, give you an idea of what it looks like right now haha.

Why wait until winter is over throw them on and go have some fun. haha
Got a question, do you have clear front turn signal lenses? It hit me looking at the first pictures that it appeared they are clear something looked out of place, until I saw the last pic were it appeared to have yellow lenses. The more I looked at the first pic's the more I think I might find some clear front signal lenses. Cannot wait to see the ram air hood. Gonna be a real nice truck, you shooting for a show type vehicle?
