Riding low/welcome

It sits ~2” lower than stock due to the 2” drop spindles that came with the Mustang II front end and the new rear leaf springs that are arched to ride 3” lower than stock. This reminds me that I also have a brand new seat of rear leaf springs (stock height) if anyone is looking for a set cheap.

I also want to let you all know that I did not restore this truck all by myself. I did do all of the mechanicals (except front end alignment) and most of the welding. My son did the majority of the body work and paint work. The seat was done by a local preachers wife.

Thanks for all the kind comments and welcomes!

BEAUTIFUL TRUCK

Fred:
That is one beautiful truck!
I too rely upon my oldest son to do all of the body & paint (well he also does the outside body welding, some mechanical, heavy lifting, etc.)
