I'm not a trophy hunter
I put my truck in its first show this past weekend and it won a best of show. I really don't care about the gold stuff but I guess with all the work that I have done and the help that this site has brought me well I am proud of this one. It was about 150 vehicles there and a open show benefiting the Army Emergency Relief. There were plenty of nicer vehicles there (I thought) but you just can't keep everyone away from a old ford truck. I understand that this truck is not Supernats winner, but its mine and it is driven and its paid for. Also if is ever on a trailer, something bad is wrong.

Last Chance that is a nice 56 you have there. I know people have personal taste when it comes to building trucks. But a nice chrome front bumper bar about 1 1/2" from the front gravel pan would set that pickup off by a mile. Congrats on the trophy mate.

Congrats! I'm not a trophy hound either but I did win one on my first show entry even though it's not even painted yet. It probably helped that my 48 was the only truck in that class...

Congrats on your first show and the trophy too! I don't expect my truck to be a show winner, but we're taking it anyway. We are registered for another this Sat, don't expect a trophy, but we do get a lot of attention.

Love the your Truck, I personally I don't care to enter shows because I'm to impatient to wait all day for the judging!

Great truck
I like everything about your truck, color, mirrors, windows, no door handles and no bumper. Just enough chrome to set off the black. Very clean and well thought-out truck. Proves that sometimes it's not what you put on but what you take off (I was just saying that to the wife the other day).
Very Nice!!!
That is a great looking truck. It's nice to get a little somethin' for all of your hard work.
