Driver, builder, driver, builder............you get the picture - never done...always something to improve on.

And too many in the parking lot, in this case the weeds out back, too.

Later...
Parking lot means you got everything plus some. Means your building , driving, parts trucks and furture projects. I should had been more explanatory.

I voted for both.... But are you a builder if you just bolt stuff on??? Or are you a builder if you whack the front off and weld more on and...............

I bought a new used truck in February 08 and just changed the oil for the first time. My panel I changed my oil twice this summer.

Thats a very good question. It seems to be a true builder it would be a little more then simply bolting a new fender on. I had to weld patchs on my rear fenders where the running boards bolted up. I guess you could say there are different levels of builders. But the bottom line is we all want one of these sweet old f100,s to work on and drive.
