Looks great! I am very close to getting my truck driving and I just got my seat recovered. As you did, I will wait to get the balance of the interior done and hope that it will look as good as yours.

MIKESAD50 · 05-06-2018, 08:57 AM

went to a little car show yesterday about 100 vehicles couple other AD's and couple Task Force.

MIKESAD50 · 05-06-2018, 09:01 AM

Man the stupid sideways pictures

**mongocanfly** · 05-06-2018, 02:05 PM

nice!!!!....if that guy doesn't like that truck he can drop, it off at my house...haha

**Advanced Design** · 05-06-2018, 06:18 PM

Great looking trucks! Even sideways....

Did the guy say why he didn’t like his truck?

**joedoh** · 05-07-2018, 02:52 AM

man I am going to build a 55-57. I can feel it

nice progress, keep plugging!

MIKESAD50 · 05-07-2018, 10:12 AM

AD,
I think he wanted more of a driver. It was a very nice truck.

OutlawDrifter · 05-28-2018, 09:23 PM

Just happened to click over to the trans temp in my wife's Suburban while in town today. 97° and humid, it was right at 190. My Ford F150 with a 5.0/6 speed auto runs a 195 and stays there. Apparently Ford has them thermostatically controlled to run that temp. Takes 15-20 minutes of driving to get it there, however.

205 working it up a mountain doesn't sound too out of whack, and probably livable. You don't want to overshoot and cool it too well!

Matt_50 · 06-02-2018, 01:42 AM

Mike I just read through your build and im jealous! Lol looks great.

I like the interior color, what kind of brown is that?

MIKESAD50 · 06-02-2018, 08:42 AM

Matt 50,
Thanks, the interior paint is an Isuzu walnut brown, if I recall correctly. I will see if I can get the name

MIKESAD50 · 06-18-2018, 11:13 AM

Well weekend before last took the truck up to Auburn outside Sacramento, no issues.
This weekend I went to a Fathers day car show in San Jose. couple of other trucks there. Nice 55 cameo.
Also did a oil change and changed the thermostat out for a 160*
I now have 5100 miles

MIKESAD50 · 08-23-2018, 10:14 AM

Well been a while since a post. I haven't been working on the truck just driving it. I have replaced the rear tires again just last week.
I have 6300 miles on the truck now.
I have made 2 750 mile trips up to Northern Cal in the few months.
Last trip up to my Uncles winery in Lewiton was for my daughters wedding ceremony.
She had me drive her to the ceremony in the truck. It was 100+ out that day.

**8man** · 08-23-2018, 02:18 PM

Very nice, and I see you even opened the vent for her. Good job dad.

MIKESAD50 · 08-23-2018, 02:28 PM

Thanks, I drove that whole weekend with it open, works well and helps. it was over 100 the 4 days I was up there. I use the cowl vent often.

**oldman3** · 08-23-2018, 07:20 PM

Congrats to your daughter, truck looks great...Jim

MIKESAD50 · 12-07-2018, 11:38 AM

Mostly sitting since the fuel pump relay issue I posted in the main forum section. I hope to get it back in the shop over the winter once my work project car clears out.
I would like to finish the doors, replace the right side window regulator that is bad already. and maybe work on getting the bed floor in.
