Thank you

I see what you did there with the rear bumper.. I’m working on a short bed conversion and the bottom of the rear section doesn’t exactly line up with the rest of the bed. I like how you put the bumper in that area 👍👍

I just bought a '60 F100... would love to pick your brain. I live in South St. Jeezy off River Road & Southern Pkwy. The guy I bought it from spray painted the body and I would love to take it down to the Patina but my wife wants me to strip it and have it wrapped. I'm really on the fence about it all. I just need to strip the bed liner from the chrome bumper & bed as it looks tacky. Its got a 292 & 3 on the tree.

Do you know a good recommendation for heat insulation in the cab, its just metal there. I was going to put some insulation then rubber carpeting to give me something to make it not look like a metal floor and feel as if its that much hotter under my feet.

Did you make the new bed floor what kind of material did you use.

Yes. Did 100% of the build myself other than the upholstery. Did a bed lift because of the suspension, with ised 1.25 steel square tube and made a platform then I used composite wood decking for the wood. made templates and made the steel straps to go around the border and across the bed to make it look like an old wood barrel.

Is LMC the best place to find affordable stuff for these trucks?

@@desertmetalfab3170 Thanks for the tip! I've got a '67 I've had for over 30 years, lots of spots where the paint has simply worn out. Put in a lot of miles and hard work in that truck, plan to keep her around a good deal longer. This will help👍
