That looks great. Excellent paint work. Where did you get the diamond plate for the bed? Got enough left to cover the top of my 67 GTX radiator?

Nice conversion Bruce! I'm going to have to give that one a try sometime. I've always liked Rick Dale's truck.

I have to say out of your recent ford truck post this one is my favorite. I'm a big fan of the show and always loved that truck. Kinda curious what ever happened to his kids slammed truck. I don't remember seeing it finished. Anyways, great job. I think you pretty much got it right on.
