Thanks for the compliments guys,
Menace, the starter is a pricey one but Robroy recommmended it and a lot of folks over FordFE.com raved about it.
Actually I think if my transmission cooler lines weren't in the way I think it would come out without removing the header.
Anyways just google Robb Mc starters and check them out.
Terry I'll try to get some interior pics soon.

:drool:, Your truck is amazing! I really like the way it looks with the hub-caps. Everything from the stance of your truck to the hood-scoop (VERY nice touch by the way :thup:) to the engine just screams mean. Nice work sir!

Nice looking Bump! I really like that stance and the scoop looks real good and mean.

The front are 15x7 rims with a 255/70 BFG.
The rear are 15x10 rims with a 285/70 BFG.
The rims don't match is another reason for the hubcaps.
I do love the hubcaps but I'm thinking of one day going with a Cragar Street Pro if they come in the right lug pattern and back spacing.

Looks fine though. Thanks for the info on wheel and tire sizes. Still like to see it without caps if you decide to put blackwalls out.

Your truck looks killer! Do you have any rubbing on the front or rear with those tire sizes.

No rubbing in the front.
I did have to cut half of the lip out in the rear but only on the right rear because Ford doesn't center their rear ends in these trucks I guess.
I did do the left rear just so they would match.

Sweet truck! After seeing your photos I'm thinking about painting my white spokes black. Obviously your truck is lowered a few inches, how did you lower it? Just curious, getting ready to do mine and really like the stance of yours. Also where did you get the bed cover. I have a 71 and can't seem to find one for a styleside

That's a great looking truck, that is my favorite color combination on a bump. Keep up the good work!
