Gotta excuse the water heater in the bed, a widowed friend called a few nights ago with a rupture and flooded house.

Sounds like you need to post in the “working ford trucks only” thread.

Love your truck

Don't think many people use these as trucks - though I do

This truck was built to be a daily driver, has been on the road since '08 and so far I've put close to 100K miles on it.
I have other trucks, just none as fun!

I buddy around the corner made shelves from an old Mustang front bumper and think 55 chevy.
The bumper is used as the front edge and the gap filled with wood for the shelves

No excuses needed for using a truck as intended. Do you have a build thread on the Mercedes engine? I couldn’t find it.

There was a build thread for the truck on the old forum platform, not sure any of that is still accessable. The Mercedes engine was taken from a low mileage 300SD that I bought as a parts car, so no rebuild there.
