Check out my photo gallery and also check out the Lightning wheels. How do you think they look?

That is sweet! Short beds seem to be rare around here. I love that color- what is it? I wanna do my '64 in a color like that. It reminds of what Ford used to call Chrome Yellow back then. Very nice work, esp. the engine bay!

It's PPG's Omni Brand:
MAE5593ALT D Yellow Tint
I hate to say it...but it's a GM color!
Thanks for the kind words...it's taken me a lot of work to get it where it's at and there's more to go! Are they ever finished? LOL

great looking truck and I also love the color!!! the only thing I would have done is paint the rad support black and the little spacers between the grill bars black this way its looks like a tube grill but to each his own. love the truck !!!

With the 1967 grille you couldn't see that much of the radiator core support... My twin brother also thought it would look better black. The next time I have it off I might have to paint it!

My son is in the Boys Scouts and one of the other dads saw my truck and said he had some old Ford Truck parts he had to give me including a grille. I've been asking about them for almost three years and I got them last week. I couldn't believe that was the grille he was promising me! My twin brother bought his 1972 F100 off of him and we hauled away a bed load of parts with it! I still have to go back for some more stuff. I guess doing a good turn daily pays off!
