jeffspower · 09-07-2008, 09:41 PM

I love it! Is the blue a custom color, or from a production vehicle?

dan42 · 09-07-2008, 09:48 PM

that color comes from this.....its an 08 mustang color, which is an original 60's color.

btw- the wife's car, and she loves that you painted your truck that color! its a great choice

otef546 · 09-07-2008, 10:36 PM

Jeffspower, The blue is from 07 ford mustang gt and the white is also a ford white that they use on there trucks.

Thanks for all the comments.Its kinda overwhelming looking at all the work that lays ahead but one step at a time.

otef546 · 09-07-2008, 10:39 PM

66 chevy prostreet, I didn't know it was a origanal 60's color.Thanks for the info.

DtownSteve · 09-07-2008, 10:39 PM

otef546 · 09-07-2008, 10:52 PM

FLEET here's a few pics of the bed mock-up The pics are not that great, they were taken with old camera.I'm lowering it a little, 2" lowering springs on front 4" on back but I think I'll end up going a little more in the back.I'll have to wait untill I get all the wait back on it and see how it looks

66chevy PROSTREET · 09-07-2008, 10:54 PM

lucky dogs, i wish they made a complete bed for the 60-66 short fleets, looks good

Andy4639 · 09-07-2008, 10:55 PM

Looking sweet. Even if it is all Ford color's.

otef546 · 09-07-2008, 10:58 PM

This is how it looks right now.close to starting it up for the first time.Plans are to get the cab undercoated and then place on rolling chassis.After that some wiring and then hope to finally hear it run.I have a lot of goodies already bought but also have a lot to get yet.I need to make up my mind about the interior color and then fertilize my money tree.

jef5150 · 09-08-2008, 12:14 AM

Your cab is mounted on a old section of frame "with wheels"
