1968 F-250 CS Ranger --Near Completion--

Post by HurleyInt824 »

Here is some pics of my truck near completion. The paint is custom done (I used the vin# color and added a little of the white, original was baby blue).The engine is modified for street, interior is stock except for radio and speakers (pics to come). My window sticker can be made (local shop $15, i think that it is a show needed sticker, I am really thinking about copyrighting it :lol: ). Let me know what ya'll think and there is a lot more to come.

Everything looks real nice. The body is very straight and clean. The only thing I don't like is how they sprayed over the rubber gromets on the firewall. Open up the LMC catalog, dennis carpenter, or NPD and order the gromets to replace the ones that got painted over. Also, it is just my taste, but you have such a nice stock looking paint job, why use such custom looking wheels. If it were mine (your taste may vary), I would find some stock wheels for it, paint them white to match your cab top and then get the stock hubcaps for it. That would look sharp!

Nice truck. I look forward to seeing pics of the interior.

i have a set of the original wheels and center caps... i just cost so much for 16.5 tires... this truck has taken about 3 years on my high school budget... the spare is the only original rim on the truck right now... but plan to put them back on before the Turkey Rod Run in Daytona
