thats whats so great about these trucks, there's such a wide spectrum of things they can be, like in that pic either a hot rod gasser or a slammed show rig, or of course everything else from street rod, grandpa's lumber hauler, rock crawler, the list goes on ;) there's something for everyone

Seeing this truck in the magazine is how I found this website. I had just purchased my 68 and was looking for ideas for the build up... All I can say is wow, Your truck is an inspiration for mine.

I would like a bit of info on the shaved drip rails. I have thought about this but believe the roof will need moved back to get the right look. It looks like you have no overhang on the roof above the windshield. Am I correct?

EDIT: I looked through your pics and see you do have an overhang. I like the look of your truck. Total opposite though when it comes to the squared off everything of the body. That is part of what I find so attractive about it. I agree totally on the big body gaps and when the time comes I will be closing some of that up. I like your filled seams but at the same time like the seams on these bodies. I wrestle with this one often when it comes to my '70. Congrats on the cover.

Beautiful truck! I was wondering if the truck is lowered any? and the wheels are 18" in the front and 20" in the rear? thanks

He mention's the front drop.....I could've sworn that he talked about a rear hanger flip :hmm:

No flip but it does look like an adjustable front mount much like Williamwilliam describes being on his truck.

I think it's awesome he plugged Fordification in the article.

Very sharp. How did you that stance and what wheel tire combo will you use?
