Seen this truck today at "Cruisin the Coast" in south Mississippi

I had seen this truck before at a local show here in town, but didn't have my camera with me.




Rather impressive. Wish mine looked as fraction as good as this one does. The interior had seats that I was told were from a Explorer Sport Trac, but to me they look like buckets from a Expedition/Navigator and the console too. Anyone else care to chime in??? I had actually sat in these seats and they were plenty comfortable and the height seemed about right for a daily driver.



Another interior shot: (I like the painted steering column shields and waffle weave bezels) This was the first time that I had actually seen one of the Coverlay dash pad covers. I was rather impressed, and it didn't look tacky/added on at all. One would have to look close to know it merely a cover.



Much more detail under the hood too.





But with all the lil things on this truck, I was somewhat surprised at how the dome light was "installed" and with all the other work herein...this coulda been done much better, but very minor!


Nearly 5,000 vehicles of most any description/make/body style...and too many to possibly list here, but this was the only truck like ours I found.

Some people have too much time (and $$$$) on their hands. Nice looking truck, I wonder it he (or she) is an FTE member?

Did you happen to talk to the owner about how much modification was required to fit the seats? There are tons of Exploders at the local u-pull-it thanks to Cash for Clunkers, mabey I'll grab a pair.

Didn't get to see the owner as they were out of town. His neighbor was there and I didn't ask if they were a member here, but I got the idea that he dabbled in all sorts of vehicles...not just Ford Trucks.
