Smile My ride (pics)

You all have been a great help in helping my fix'er up. I've put a few pics in my gallery. I have recently purchaced it and am loving it. it is an auto 360ci. short bed and we have got her running great now. I think i did ok on the purchase. interior is just as nice as the outside and under the hook is detailed and sharp also. Mabey give me some ideas on the possible value if you would and give me a better idea if i did ok on price or not
Thanks

It looks good man. I just would get rid of those side steps, I personally think they look better without them... more sporty. Other than that it looks great. Post more pics of interior and engine.

I am really torn about the stepsides myself, when i saw the pics before i went to see the truck i said the steps will have to go. but when i saw it in person i started to like them.
I think i will pull them off this weekend and check it out. I agree it will make it look more sporty so off they come for a look.
Thanks

Very sharp looking pickup... If you like the running boards, keep them. I have cab length running boards on mine and I like them for the usefullness. My wife has to use them to climb in. It keeps the rocks/dirt off the pickup - I drive several miles of gravel roads every day and the running boards keep it way cleaner and less rock chips.

Very nice looking truck, and it's an awesome color too. I would take the steps off too... and bring them to the recycle yard. Aluminum = $$$.

Very nice looking truck! That color is great; I haven't seen that on a Ford until now... The wheels sure go great with the vintage of truck, too...

Dang, I sure miss the look of the '73-'75 grille!

running boards

Thanks all, I have taken the runningboards off now and I do like it much better, it seems to give the truck a better stance and it looks a lot sportier now. Ill send more pics later.
