thanks for all the compliments-
I did put a 4" lift on the truck consisting of the rough country for the front and a simple reverse shackle flip in the back. That gave me room for my 35" which I got a smoking deal on from nebraskatire.com----$500 delivered for all 4! (the local shops could not get under $800)
The windows were easy to tint because I had them out of the truck...just baby shampoo and water, just like the pros do it...since the glass is flat it only took 30 minute to do all the windows---the vent glass was kind of a pain but it turned out good

That is a good deal on your tires. I check out your gallery, and now which truck do you like better, your new Ford or your "new old ford". 
Anyway, did you re-upolster your seat and if you did, where did you get the material?

the love of my trucks is different...I love my old one because I have put my heart and soul into it...plus it wheels a heck of lot better than the new one----way more clearance on the old one...the new one has all the creature comforts though and it's more comfortable to drive...the new one only has 30k miles on it and it's an 04...so it's still like new...the only thing I did so far was to level the front end and tint the windows (and the first time I wheeled it I managed to tear up both running boards which I have since took off)
I bought the seat cover from LMC and did it my self. The fabric was a little big and I had to drill a couple new holes in the seat frame to get the proper stretch. It took about an hour to do both pieces...not too shabby
I checked out your gallery too...you are probably a lot closer than you think to being done, looks like you are on the downhill slide...I like that blue color...your truck is going to be awesome when done!!!
Maybe next time the Huskers come to Boulder we can hook up and tailgate w/ the old fords
