looks good, bet that aluminum diamond plate run you a pretty penny! I wish I still worked at the ship yard. We used to drag that stuff out of the scrap bin all the time!

Awesome idea, looks great, think I am gonna add one thing. Cut out the bottom rectangle area below and put it there too?

Just cut a hole for the door speakers, and use flush/flat mount speakers covers. You know you can get that metal in different colors, I have seen it in red and blue.

Thanks for the finish product pic, it looks great.

I was thinking if I could get more to put it down on the bottom of the door where the pocket goes under the door panel. I am going to get a silver paint pen and redo all the silver on the panel.

Now go to the parts store and get some 1/8" chrome pinstripping tape and a scuff pad and redo the fins on the lower part of the door panel.

Ranger, that is a great idea. I was going to paint them but I like the pin stripe better!

77&79, I don't know if my 77 will make it. I am still trying to get a stock pitman arm for it. I upgraded to the 78-79 steering, plus it isn't even registered yet. I wished I lived near your area, there are more guys up your way that run the 73-79's, most of my guys are PSD's.

I have a stock pitman off my 79 F250 4x4, yours for free if you can cover shipping? And you would have to wait till 18 or 19 April, sorry I am working in Afghanistan right now.

Pass the word to any and all, any Ford truck nut invited, just RSVP on the mo chapter thread. My sis might even drive down her 99 F350 6" 375/65 Baha ATZ.

So what ever year, make, model and engine, come on up. Once again nice job on those door panels.

Thanks for the pitman offer, but from what I gethered the arms are different from the 150 to the 250. I had a couple people that all have the 250 arms, might have found one though...will have to see.

Your sis has a very nice truck!!

I'll ck if I got a 150 one laying around in the shop, still free if I got one. Sisters rig, HP boost chip, K&N air box, 5" exhaust, only has 60,000 on it.

Had a 4" with 315"s, got a deal on the lift and tires and rims. 6" Skyjacker? RS9000's, double front shock brackets, MT Baha ATZ 375/65/16, Weld Stone Crusher's.

Gotta love Craigslist, up KC way.
