Sharing the joy

I've been asking lots of questions here since I started a full restoration on my 77 f150 last September. I've had to put nearly 1000 hours into this truck since then learning everything about rebuilding that I didn't know before, which was lots since last September I was 23 haha.
This weekend I finally got the cab painted and re installed back onto a fully restored and upgraded underside (Literally everything was touched) Lots more work to go but it finally feels like a truck again
I've had nothing but a smile on my face every time I go to look at it. I've been showing photos to lots of people I know locally and figured with all the advice I received from here I was only obliged to share here too
Thanks to everyone on here who helped me get to this stage. Much more work than I ever imagined but I loved it. Gotta also thank my wife for believing it only cost a couple thousand to get to this stage
Ill share more photos when everything else gets together but for now here is a couple

Thanks for the compliment, I wish that one was mine. Or I had those truck building abilities. It is just a internet pic of a awesome dentside Ultra 4 race truck. But your is on the road to be "sick" also.

The truck is looking great. Is that color blue original to the truck? Looks similar to Ford Harbor Blue. Keep up the great work ,

Thanks guys. The original color of the truck was actually white although when I bought it someone had spray bombed it a teal color. I loved the color but wanted an original ford color for my year. This one is Bahama blue. Goes by a million names I’m sure
heres a photo of what color it was when I bought it

Our truck was Wimbledon White from the factory. If I had my druthers and the build wasn't for my Dad it would have been redone in Viper blue, but it's not about me so after a brief foray into pearl white color choices the original Wimbledon White ended up staying. Love the trucks that are done in modern blue colors. There are a few examples on this forum.
