    I looked at that truck when it was for sale. I am glad it found a home. Nice job so far.

    Found a bumper in the back of a '69 ford van at the pick n pull 1/2 off weekend, I'm assuming it was off of the van, Anyway i got it about how i want it, it was way to wide, now to build brackets.. what do you think?

    Love those 57-60 F-100's. If you need some inspiration, send me an email. I happen to know of a 59 that was finished last year. I think there is pictures in my albums... Best of luck to you... Looks great...

    Wow! that bumper looks great. I'm having a hard time finding a nice rear bumper for my 59 too. What year range was the van you pulled that from?

    I always liked 1959 and 1960 Ford F100's.
    The tires look good on there.

    Bumper turned out great! I used a 64 chevy bumper on mine(alli could find..it was free) I narrowed it 7 inches, tucked it 3, and flipped it upside down.

    Looks great! working on my 60' and yours is inspiring! I have 59 cab, doors and a hood if you need them. I'm in west Texas though. The 59 was my donor and I got all I needed from it. Could use the space!

    Holey roof panel, Batman! That sure looks like a better idea than peeling duct tape to keep the rain out. Keep up the good work

    On your question about sample upholstery, do an advance search on "chris casny" - he had ones for sample of "A" coupe custom upholstery. Pretty good samples !
