1981 F100 Custom

I am looking to finish up restoring this truck as it has been passed down to me from my father. Current needs for it are a new hood, tires and anything I can do to customize the interior. I also need to find a place that does wood beds. I don't know why but that is just how I want to keep it just need new wood. So if anyone has any links to sites that have a good amount of the stuff I need it would be much appreciated.

This is currently where I am at.

Well we bought a 300 S6 wanted to keep the truck as original as possible minus some upgrades to interior and paint. The transmission is believe it or not the stock transmission. We have rebuilt it twice. As for the rear-end it is also stock.

You can always right click and go to properties to make sure a link is actually taking you to a legit location

I did that, but the picture was HUGE........ BB Code does not allow you to change the width or height of the pic using the
Code:
img
tags.

That's why I changed it to a thumb instead. BTW: a lot of sites won't let you hot link anyway. Even doing it as you said. The call to the URL has to come from the same domain or you get the warning message.

I was an Internet Engineer for 12 years @ Morgan Stanley. I know a little about this stuff......
