It's been a long wait to see my truck all finished, and I'm almost done. You all will have to wait a few weeks for the pictures. The truck will be ready and running for my B-day 7-31
I've learned so much from FORDification the response to all my questions were instant and precise. I have put my :2cents: every now and then, here and there, to contribute back. This site is great. I can't imagine my truck without FORDification.

This is a great site. My ol 72 wouldn't have some of its mods if I hadn't found this site.

Man you sure got that done pretty quick. I've been working on mine since the summer of 07. There was a while I didn't do anything with it. But have gotton interested in it again. I miss not having a truck! By the way your truck looks awesome. I like the color. Right now I'm not sure what color to go with on mine. Thinking about a flat paint. I kinda like the hot rod flatz paint. I want something that looks different.

FormerMarine1981, thanks.

The disk brakes I got the on ebay, but if you are going get some be careful on the ones you buy, because if you get the wrong ones it will cost you to return them is like $75.

The work is getting done at my dads auto shop in Roma, Tx.
On Saturday, the upolstery man is going to the shop and installing the carpet.
