Hey guys! Sorry I've neglected this thread for a bit, it's been a pretty busy fall. I laugh a little when someone asks me if my truck is finished. I respond with "define finished" :lol: It runs, it drives, it's freaking beautiful, but there's still a few touches here and there that need attention (yes - such as the mirrors), and hopefully I'll get to them during the winter when I'm trapped indoors.

Anyway I figured I was WAY overdue showing you guys some pictures, so here she is! First time it's been in the sun in 5 years. First time it's moved under it's own power in 18 years! Just looking at these pictures reminds me how I felt that day I finally drove it again, I really can't describe it, it was just awesome. :woohoo:

Just came across this post. In particular, the spare tire winch design was what I was looking for. Thanks so much for doing all the heavy lifting here and posting such nice photos. I plan to copy your winch design for my 68 F350 camper special. Just need to find a donation vehicle at the local pick and pull.
