very nice truck! If thats considered "Dark Sider" then thats what I want for my 51 F1, and it still looks all stock from the outside, I think its a perfect amount of mods to make it even that much better to drive 
what are the chrome? looking strips on the tops of running boards? looks nice.
Oh and welcome to FTE, I would love to see some pics of your engine and engine compartment etc.
Hey Guys is that An F.T.E t-shirt that Paul has on in the pic??
