My Midlife Crisis

Thanks All the trim is going back on. They look there best all with everything on to me at least.

Finally on the road. Now I have to trouble shoot the overdrive which is not engaging.







And no for the obligatory dog with pickup pictures. I feel a country song coming on

My goodness!
What an amazing job in such a short time! You think if I drive my truck up there ya'll can perform some of that body work magic on her?!

Hey dogs just go with our trucks, my Diamon' goes everywhere I go in the bump!
Stop by here when you get a chance.

Thanks, Tell me about it. What made it easy was the bump was mechanically tight, minimal amount of rust and a super straight body. The only issue is the overdrive now. I have to say I need a break and my wife would like to see me for a little bit, if you can talk her into it I will do it. Good luck on that one . This was done after work, half day staurdays and all day sundays. I was just dying to get it on the road. Plus it was a sanity check from the real world. I want to use it as my daily driver for the summer that was my major push.

Well some pictures of the bump lettered up. I have been using this as my run around truck for work since my superduty is in the fleet right now due to what seems to be every 6.0 diesel I own is in the shop everyother day. The sad thing though is it get's the same mileage as the new pickups. I took the mileage quest suggestions and with the 3speed with overdrive it has been gettting as 12.5-14.5 miles per gallon and if all highway up to 18 MPG.

Looks good! Nice ol truck.

That is a really sweet looking truck!

I really like the deep dish wheels, with hub caps and deep trim rings. I’m considering that look rather than custom wheels on my 69 Ranger.

[bnl44]

And Purple is my favorite color!

Nice truck! Is that a spot light on the driver's side? Is it stock? Never noticed one on a bump before... How does it turn on (where is switch) and is there a way to adjust it from inside cab or just from outside? Could be a fun add-on if someone sells them!

[cowbay]

Thanks about the spot light. I suppose it was not a factory option but an aftermarket deal at the time. But I love it also. I attached some pictures with the handle inside.

Very cool light

What paint is that? Looks real close to what I'm about to spray... I love this, you've given me a preview of what mine will hopefully look like in a few weeks (same colours/colour scheme)

For the paint the purple is a 1970 mopar plum crazy and the white is a 2007 Ford Superduty code. This is colors are what my whole fleet is big or small.

In the meantime I will look up the paint manufacture and type we use in my shop. It holds up pretty well

Ill be damned, another Long Islander.
Nice looking truck, the two tone looks great!
