highntight, the paint looks great.

I may have missed it on another post but what did you do to the front doors? Is that a vent window delete? That looks interesting.

The same rear door pulls were used in early '70s Mustangs. I think I recall NumberDummy saying they were also used in '78-'79 Broncos, and mid-to late-'70s Thunderbirds.

Im not at home but if you give me a few days I can look at mine

Measurements for a 300 I-6 will be the same for any 2wd truck, not crew specific so you could post a thread in the 73-79 area and probably get a lot more responses a lot faster.

Looks really nice Eli. Did you do a full resto on it also or just the 4x4 conversion?

Did you do a conversion thread? I am sure people would be interested in how you did it, given how many 2-to-4 questions always come up.

Thanks... But I just did the 4x4 conversion. A couple of years down the road. I'll do the a full restoration. And no I haven't made a build thread. But I will. I've taken a bunch of pictures... Just really haven't had a nice hr to post it all... Lol. No kidding about a lot of work! It took me about 2 weeks
