I like the design of that for his particular build, but it does take away from the usefulness of the bed for those of us who actually still use these as "trucks" around the house/farm. Still...very nice work on it.

I agree. It looks good and is period correct.

The Ford logo is a nice touch. Maybe an older style logo would also be nice looking.

The emblem is actually a repro of a 34 ford truck hood emblem

I like it.

I was looking at it from my phone and thought it was a late model emblem.

I was thinking of an emblem that went with the truck.

I like that. And it matches the patina of the bed.

That is the style of box I actually wanted.....but most the ones I found for sale, the seller wanted a lot more than I was willing to spend.
Very nice !!

I remember when I was growing up that my parents had some old car stuff in the basement. One item was a chest/trunk that I was told came off the back of a Hupmobile car. As I recall, the trunk in the red trunk was the same as the one I had seen in our basement. I remember talking to the owner of the red truck about the trunk and he wasn't sure about it's origins...he knew that it was old and he knew he wanted it for his truck. I think that the leather wrap is what really makes it look classy.

BTW - just found this on ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/32580082585...Bk9SR8ax4r2MYw
