    Driving it around the yard!! I can't imagine what the neighbors think of my F1 with no sheet metal or doors flying around the yard with a lawnmower gas tank clamped to a 2x4 on the frame rail. None of them fancy moving pictures to show you, but a couple of snap shots. Notice my gauge panel (one oil pressure gauge laying on the cowl), and the redneck fuse box sticking out of the radio hole in the dash. I got to the "gocart" stage and just had to rig it up to drive around. This is obviously for humor, so lets keep the "you suck" flaming to a minimum.

    Sweet man, you got it running. I can't imagine being that patient.
    I probably would have done the same thing.

    the truck was my father in-laws.he picked the colors.
    have got lots of compliments on it since i brought it here.
    more pics in my gallery if needed.

    the creme is actually called pearl.
    wife just told me.will look through the paperwork that was given with the truck and see if i can find color codes/names.

    At least you got a nice seat in there. It only would have looked crazy if you used lawn chairs!

    Looks like you could cut a few inches out of those pedistals pretty easy.

    It is the bench out of a Ranger pickup. It is a little too narrow, but it sits right under the stiffener across the back of the cab like it was made to fit there. I am about 6'4" so I needed it as low and as far back as possible. I have to admit, even with a 6 inch channel I still have plenty of head room, now leg room is another matter.
