    I'm diggin' the headlight position, looks outta the 50's.......too many rods these days have 'em too close to the grill or too low....

    Good job!

    Your pick up looks excellent. I built one a while back and drove the wheels off of it. Kinda miss it now.

    If I had those frilly drapes in my shop windows, they'd be on fire in about 5 minutes. But they sure do look perdy.

    the box is a f-100 that I cut the stock mount off and welded on 3/8 plate but since the box is a casting i added a bracket thet bolts to the end cap on the box as well.
