Dang that looks nice, great job. So is it going to make the trip back up to WI or just stay down in FL? If it is coming north I'd hope to see it at Iola.

Also I really like that wheel and tire combo, What brands did you use? (I found the sizes on your previous post).

Thanks for sharing,

Steven

Not Reluctantly so...it's a beauty..... A fine Bonus buck-toothed truck that is road-ready while my iron sits in cash-challenged limbo.

Good for you ! Keep in mind you can always switch to the proper grille

If he does, the truck's value will plummet!

John, Looking good!
My chassis color will be similar. I have attempted to pull in a pic of my final painted Jag IFS. (first time trying to pull in a photo-from my gallery). The color looks to have a blueish tint to it which it really doesn't. I thought about going with body color (red) for the calipers.

Edit: Ok I need help. How to change the photo from a URL to an actual photo?

2nd Edit: I apologize I also managed to post this in the wrong thread! I meant to post it in Johns "chip chip ...." thread. Definately computer challanged here!

Thumbs up Good looking truck

I have a 53 Sheridan Blue. I recently had it touched up and found the PP@G paint code is wrong although the chart showed the correct color. The following code is for a 53 F100 I recently had touched up which is original color. PP&G code (10428) is not original color. It is too light although picture of chip is correct on color chart. Correct code is; Sheridan Blue Paint Code for the 53 F100 is Color Code B/Duco 864/Dulux 93-81501

Yours looks just about like mine. Helps my feelings although I knew my Stepfather would not have had it painted anything but the original color as he was a perfectionist when it came to his antiques.
