Thanks! Don't take many pics since completion a few years back. There's a bunch in my gallery of the process. Kinda miss building it! Driving it is great but the build was my favorite time.

Looks awesome! Great truck.

How did the truck drive in snow? Just curious, living in the Bay Area I don't have the opportunity to drive in snow

Not much of a test as it was just an inch-ish and I never left my woods. Was just finally a beautiful day and hadn't had her out in a while. Snow crunching just sounds better in it than my modern vehicles. 😁

This truck looks great ad I love the stance. What wheel and tire size are you running? Offset?

Tire Size

Thank you! Can't remember offset. I'll have to look. The stance is a little of a cheat as it's sitting on a bone stock 78' chassis. That makes it 4" wider (frame/axle)than pre-73' ford trucks in the rear. That caused me to scratch build the bed. Had to raise the floor and made a bit wider/longer. With tailgate open you can see raised floor. Here is a pic of tire size. Wanted to stay 15" but wouldn't clear rotors. Not enough choices in 16" so ended up at 17". That's the tallest tire I could get to clear front fender.
