Some nice rides around here. I only got through about 100 pages of the pictures in the galleries but will come back later and look more.

I was given a white 1997 Ford F150 Flareside. Never got into trucks until this one, it's kind of a piece at a time project for me. I never thought of trucks as sporty (until I drove this one). My father gave this truck to me just before he died. I've been doing a lot of small things to customize it.

The inside bed is upholstered in white leather and the recesses on the sides of the bed have lights installed. The fiberglass lid will be stained wood. We also installed a DVD player with monitors in the cab and rear. It's a sort of "home away from home." We use this truck mostly for camping. I'll set up a gallery of pictures soon. We are planning to do some serious engine modifications this winter. Dual exhaust, supercharger, 5 speed manual transmission, ect. I'll be looking for advice for those willing to give it.

It's nice to meet folks with similar interests and look forward to reading and seeing more.
