    Yep! Totally missed that!!! I have to hurriedly look at the HAMB while trying to chase my own little girl around! Sometimes I miss some details, but it's the only car fixin'/buildin' related thing I have time for right now!
    Thanks for pointing that out.

    That looks like something Ford should should have offered originally. Great plan and execution.

    How is it that this has not come up in the last 80 years? Brookville should be paying you.

    One of the slickest threads I've seen here on the HAMB!! Totally cool that your kids can enjoy the hot rod with you, safely! A true masterpiece.
     
  7. The truck was bad ass before but now its even cooler. Just don't lie about doing it for the kids. Lets be honest, it was for the swap meet scouting while driving down the isle's.

    Badass. I can dig that. Part of the reason I sold my RPU project off was not enough room for the family. I don't know why someone never thought of this before.... Excellent quality and build. Thanks for sharing.

    In this poker game we call "Tech Week" ...that is a Royal Flush!
    Great idea.
    A very complicated project made very easy to follow. Nice job.

    And I thought the Deuce shell you made from a GMC grill opening was brilliant...
    Amazing job!

    Wow. I know a lot of people who sold their trucks to get a sedan to fit the whole family in (me being one of them) and this is a perfect fix for that. Great work!

    Nice work and a great idea. What are you using for a gas tank under the bed ? Looks like the tank is a perfect fit.

    Whoa, thats a cool idea. Now I regret selling my 48' F-1 to buy a more family friendly 50' fleetline! All of the good ideas come from the HAMB!
