Yeah, FordTruck, that shifter looks like A$$. I can say it was not a shop install. More like a couple of drunk hill billys with a claw hammer & some tin snips.

Glad you found a good rust free cab. I dont know what it is about Ok with the rust & all. But, as guys have mentioned, these trucks are prone to rusting in the floor pans anyways. Even my truck, which hasnt seen rain since 1993, is going to need new floor pans........ :pout:

You should see the in-laws 72 F-350 that I want sooo bad. It has never been inside a garage or under a carport in its entire life! Since 72' its sat out in the weather, 24-7 365. The floor pans are GONE! you can stand up inside the cab. They have some expanded metel tacked in to keep your feet from falling out from under you. Its like the freekin' Flintstones car.

Yet they wont part with it, even tho they just bought a brand new Superduty. God knows Ive tryed to get it from them for the last 10 years.....
