Trucks looking great!! Glad to see you found a grill guard and got it mounted! Yeah, even though we are in the conservative enclaves, there are still a LOT of fruit loops here 🤣 Charlotte, my 02 F350 had a bad coughing episode a few weekends ago, and dang it if it didn't happen on 41 right before I turned on to Rd 426, lots of peasants, with a few in the road decided to move back... it made me smile, ahhh the simple pleasures of annoying the libtards.

Good job Buzzard!! This thread deserves a 5-star rating especially for the stickers on the camper!

Just pony up and buy the real battery instead of putting a pretty dress on a pig! Oh I will also say I bought the dress up kit. Could not bring myself to spend 400 dollars. But now I see they are using AGM tech I just may do it! Ford Antique Auto Battery (1956-1968) Power Punch SG27FPP

Thanks for that, Tim. Unaware of that, but I had seen a battery for over a grand, never would pay that much.

I wonder how many '66 trucks had Ford batteries in them in the year say 1970!

looks outstanding and inspires me all the more to get mine done... love the stickers on the back of the capper... i screwed up cutting the holes for my grill guard supports through the radiator support, so much for measuring 5 times and cutting once... lol.., ive only been restoring mine for 5 years, give me a couple more and it should be done...

Horns look vaguely familiar. Not sure why.
Seat looks fantastic.
I like your sniper bumper sticker, but I'm definitely biased.

I was pretty sure I’d used the wrong photo after I posted it, but had deleted the photo I took of mine. The only one I have of my actual horns is actually in my gallery, I don’t know if I could retrieve it from there.But it looks pretty much looks identical to yours, except for the fact that mine are on an ugly kitchen hand towel for the photo. Sorry, not trying to steal your material.

Ha! Once a picture is posted on the Internet it's public domain from then on!! Always wished I'd saved off a picture of your truck with a door decal or magnet I saw. Something about Fifi's pet grooming service? Or did I dream that?

We had a fixed-in-place hotdog/sausage cart for about two years. Had to shut it down when MIL, on hospice, came to live with us. We sold genuine Chicago dogs, all Vienna Beef, and locally-made Corralitos Market sausages.I only have a few remaining photos.

Here’s the sign you are likely thinking of.

Wife’s nickname is FiFi. I like to think I’m a man of the world, but had I knew what it connotes, I’d have probably chosen a different name. Logo has nothing to do  with me or anyone, though it’s doppelgänger was a good customer.
Wife’s nickname is FiFi. I like to think I’m a man of the world, but apparently I’ m naive. Had I known what it connotes in some circles , I’d have chosen a different name. Logo has nothing to do with me , and - so I thought - bore no resemblance to anyone living or dead . One day a few guys from the bar up the street brought down my logo’s , doppelgänger. and thought he deserved a couple free hotdogs. I was glad to oblige, and set him up with a pink muscle shirt with our logo, to boot.
