Thank god to kept the rebel fenders. I had one like that for about 1 month 4speed manual gear box... It wanted to tear off everything.
MacClay
If you need any advice, well you might say I have a "Type".

JackMama
Awesome project, and you did it together! Still see some sunlight coming thorough that bed... Up vote from me!

Needs a rifle in the cab to complete the build. Great choice of colour. Good memories to keep

How much did the restoration cost if you don't mind me asking?
imtellingyouthetruth
We are in it for about 8k so far. Most of it in the paint.

I really liked the brown color but still a pretty cool restauration. Congrats op

Beautiful! Way to include you kid, too! - I learned soooo much just holding a flashlight for my dad!

That colour choice is perfect!

Howdy from Duncan, Ok! Great work.
Trentlane1984
Well done. They don't make them like that anymore.
SamArt53
You're right, they make them a lot better and safer! https://youtu.be/C_r5UJrxcck @Op. It's still an awesome restoration job though!

Always upvote anything 80's man. Great job on the resto. Too many rides with character are gone.

nice!

Usually I am against painting the vehicle a different color than the VIN states but that is a very nice blue.
TheDrunkenHuntsman
Looks good man! A little routine maintenance and that truck will last forever. Keep them old blue ovals goin!
Sjp770
Would look heaps better lowered.. depends on how you want to use it I guess. Nice work so far!
mrpotatoes
Did you paint that in your own garage? That's sick!
Chr1990
Looking great so far!

Careful with the windshield. I've made a terrible mistake painting before taking the old glass out.
hadadrumstickandmybrainisstillstuck
Oh yea those chrome moldings are a lot of fun!
flagbasher
You better rechrome those bumpers. Also, I wonder how a synthetic board would work in the bed.
TheEdmontonMan
Chroming is really expensive. Guy I know did a little 3 x 20 inch bumper, 700$ total.
aalcoholism
Little bit of coke and a brillo-pad should work. Also, CLR will take any hard water deposits off. Rock on!
NoYouNeedYOURStomachPumped
Rustoleum. I am not a professional.
TheEdmontonMan
Rust-eze!
hadadrumstickandmybrainisstillstuck
Alright @op fess up, how much of those interior pieces had to be glued back on because the clip holders broke during removal.
MacClay
Probably none, since the clips pretty much always broke before the holders did.
Chalybos
Beautiful. But it's still a Ford.
therealsalvi
tttttrrrrrruuuuueeeee
MacClay
Which is why it's beautiful.
Chalybos
Ford made some beautiful cars, but there's a reason they're referred to as Found On Road Dead. ;) First car was a '67 Mustang - I miss it.
MacClay
Mostly because people forget it really stands for First On Race Day.
Zef66
Looking awesome! Any plans for the drivetrain?
imtellingyouthetruth
Original 300 cid motor still runs well. Haven't really delved under the hood other than battery, fluids, and a good cleaning.
MrHowe
300 is a great first for your son. Good on fuel and will take abuse, and not have the power to tare up the truck
BringBackMythbusters
Looks great! Sons first car?
imtellingyouthetruth
No, he's going to drive a beater first while he learns and get these keys at graduation.
