Well, I'm sorta new to this forum so thought I'd try and post a few pictures of my truck that has just been restored. Still working on wheels/tires, but I'm mostly there.I just put the wheels/tires shown in the first photo on - but don't like them - going to go with some Ford wire wheelcovers and somewhat wide whitewalls (second photo) - should have them next week. Got new tonneau cover from Truxedo today so it will go on this weekend. LOVE THESE TRUCKS
Hope you guys/gals like it. Neat forum.

Just put these wheels/tires on - don't like them
Going to put these wheels/tires on except covers will have red centers (picture is photoshoped)
Also have original factory style covers
Little grill modification - expanded metal behind inserts - 72 grills need some help
Interior - just got Classic Auto Air ac/heat installed
360 V8

I agree with Fo Mo Co.....sweet looking truck and would look good with the old mag hub caps. The seat upholstery looks great.

Thanks guys but I'm trying to get a little "different" look - sort of the "gentleman farmers" truck thing!! ha ha - going with wire wheel covers (got some NOS ones ordered with red centers) and a little wider whitewall.

Oh yes, happy to show some pics of the Mustang. It's my real pride and joy. 1969 Mach I - numbers matching, rotisserie restoration. 351W, 4spd, ps, pdb
That Mustang is absolutely incredible. Outstanding....both the truck and Mustang. Thanks for the excellent pictures!

Thanks Terry. Glad you like some of my "stuff". Just got a Truxedo LoPro tonneau cover on the truck last nite. Looks really nice. Will have new wide whitewall tires and the wire wheel covers on at the end of this week - then I'm THRU with this truck.

Looking forward to the pics with the new wheels. That will be a big improvement.
I sure hope so Ford. I was really disappointed with the chrome mags - was hoping they would look right but they just don't do it for me. I'm too much of an "orignal look" nut. I think the wire covers with red centers and whitewall tires will set it off just right.
