Hey Now,

Looking Good!!!!!

That Engine Bay looks big enough to fit a Toyota...

Looking at the pics of your Truck brings back memories....

My 1st Ford Truck was a '72 F-250, I bought it in '76 to take to College
I loved that Truck, sure would like to have another one like it!!!!

Keep up the Great Work!!!
