Very nice, this one I like. The price isn`t all that bad at present depending where the reserve is at.
It`s very far from stock but still nicely done in eye catching red & blk and seemingly good workmanship.
I really like this 71 F100, not restored but a very nice driver, buy it now is at $6,471.00 Canadian.

Rear bumper is from a mini truck, the taillights are...gasp...reproduction 1948/54 Chevrolet pickup with blue dots. The front bumper looks similar to what 1966/77 Bronco's used, but regardless, it's not original. Engine looks correct. Hmm...fibreglass fenders, repop amber parklights, the paint colours...to each his own.
What's more interesting is that lime chinked log cabin, with what appears to be either a 1936 Olds, or Chevy pokin' its nose out of the garage. Nice old timey look. There's just something about an old house with an old car parked nearby...has a sense of "time standing still" about it.
Again, what I said before still goes...when pictures are taken for ads, the background should be devoid of interesting things. That background with all the interesting features, the cabin, old ride in the garage, draws attention away from the truck.

Bill, your losing your touch. 
The front bumper if off a 51-52 truck. Just no one reproduces this bumper so the 48-50 bumper is listed for the 51-52 trucks in the reproduction part catalogues.
