If someone can post some pics for me that would help, but until then you can see the latest pics in my link.

I'm still waiting to wetsand and buff. Install the trim, spray in liner, rear window, and new tires.

Looks nice.

What a change! Looks great! - a question thought, the pics of the side of the truck makes the rear wheels look like they are located toward the front of the wheel opening - was that just an optical illusion?

00droptopSS · 08-27-2003, 02:49 PM

It's a little of both. My wheel doesn't sit centered in the rear well, but everything is straight and where it should be. I've looked at other trucks and they arent' centered also.

I think those crappy low profile tires make it look worse than what it is. I'm also thinking of pinching the lower bedsides to slide the bed forward.

very nice job!!

That color looks great w/white. How long have you been working on you truck?

00droptopSS · 08-27-2003, 04:50 PM

I've owned the truck for four months and twenty four days.

I had to sell my 2001 F250 to pull it off this fast, but this 72 is more stylish in my opinion.

sameyrasmea72 · 08-27-2003, 05:03 PM

I thought so by the dates of your pics, I figured you just got a late start on posting the pictures, but I guess not. Wow! Superfast, but super good job too.

Looks very nice. You'll be done in time to Cruise the Coast over our way!

Looks good Kelly! If you want to email me some of the finished pics I will get it put up on our sire. Glad we could help.
