re: Best mods or upgrades you have done to your bump?
Ryan, I personally,never cared for the gas tank riding "shotgun" with me,
I don't believe it is a safe place(IMO-alot of people will disagree)for a tank.
I do plan on Bucket seats and think it will look better without it and also had those parts avalible from my parts truck.So to me,it is the best upgrade--necessary--probaly not
PS--also plan on getting dimensions of a cab tool box and making one(my buddy has a nice woodworking shop)out of Oak

I don't want to give em a heart-attack. That is what would happen if I answered the door in the buff. Heck it almost scares me to death when I step out of the shower and look in the mirror.~Mancar1~

I have a few favs for my 70 f100 ranger. one being the disk brake conversion, power door locks, rear air bags, and working on getting the ac and alarm installed

Installed a new set of lifters and push rods on number one cylinder(i know it actualy a repair) I consider it a mod as it was probably this way when i bought it.

Our 1969 travel trailer is white and dark brown.
I painted the dark brown Sequoia brown metallic to match the truck.
Later this summer I will paint the white Wimbledon white.
