FNG here...
this f250 was my daily/shop truck for about a year or so. The black picture it was wet and didn't really look that good. My wife and I found out we were having our 2nd child...so I decided to "clean" my the old ford to supplement our income while she was off work.

Basically mixed up some leftover paint, stripped and sprayed the body..I swapped the wheels and tires (7:00 firestones) lowered the truck couple of inches and gave her a tune. Sold it, made a few bucks on what I had in it and everyone is happy. I was able to use some of the money to buy another f100...picked up a 58f100 for a song

Looks good, bummer it is gone. A child sure can eat up the budget though...even before they actually get here!

Pics of the 58? There is still some love around here for the Fridge! Actually, the 58 could look good if you did it just like you just did the 65

I'll get some pics of the 58 up soon. I'm using to get one of my techs up to speed on rust repair and panel fab/replacement. Going to do a similar style as the 65, but more late 50's... suade purple with heavy scallops in white (watson style) We did a spring flip on the front and the rear, it's sits down nice on 8.20X15's.
