Almost finished 71 F250 4x4 - thank you for all of the information


I would like to thank everyone for the wealth of information in this forum.I have lurked for a while while restoring my truck and finally joined up so I could ask a few specific questions toward the end. The information I found here greatly improved my knowledge and being able to find quality parts.

Attached is a picture of it "mostly" finished, I have a few things let to tinker with but at least I can enjoy it some now.

Thanks again

Beautiful but I'm not a fan of that extra wide molding.

That is one great looking truck. I love the color. What size tires are you running? Also, where did you get that cab step?

That is why I wanted to thank everyone, I really could not have done it without this forum. If I have time one day I will post a picture and discussion timeline of the restoration.

I think this answers all of the questions I saw.

1. Boxwood green
2. The tires are Michelin XPS Traction 235/85-16
3. The steps were on it when I bought it

I have a few spare parts to sort through and may be able to help someone or give them a good deal, especially if you are near Chattanooga or N. Georgia.

Thanks
