The build on the truck happened about 25 years ago and the builder passed away unfortunately. He left it to his 2 sons and after a period of time they realized they could not bring themselves to work on it or change anything because it was Dad’s. 3500 miles are on the build that included a rebuilt 350 Chev and Turbo400 Auto with a 3.08 geared 9” Rearend. I have all the new pieces to finish the A/C install that was happening when the builder took ill, it’s complete in the cab for the most part just have to mount the compressor and drier and other misc. items to finish it up. It has Mustang 2 Front suspension with a sway bar and leafs out back. It drives really nice and is going to be a really enjoyed cruiser for me and my wife and Floyd our Cavalier Spaniel. Glad to be back on the Forum after a long absence when I didn’t have a F100.

Beautiful truck. Glad you could get back into one.
Now I want to see a picture of you Cavalier. We lost ours a few years ago, we was such a sweet dog. Wasn't overly fond of riding in the truck though.
