Wow, KB :shock:  I knowed you build em fast but dang. :!:

You will be glad to know that nearly everything which unbolts from the cab of those all goes in one good sized radiator box. For a tidy garage. I saw in a mag where some TV guys put a little bit earlier truck on a cop car chassis. The one on your link I did the teardown on. It was barely connected to the frame. I installed a bed floor we rolled in 16 gauge and now its underwood. The crew outdid themselves and the truck does well at shows. Did you happen across this one hunting ideas? :)

Thanks on behalf of the crew. :)  Most importantly on behalf of the truck owner as well, and the shop owner who pulls rabbits out of his hat daily. My involvement in that job was so minor I can't claim any bragging rights. March 2013's Truckin' has a 61 F100, "Unbridled Unibody" is the article, and December 2015's Classic Trucks has a '41 Ford pickup "Mighty Fine" and May 2016's Street Trucks has a '55 Chevy truck "One Fine '55" in it that we did... that I do have full braggin rights to. The blue 67 F100 was our first to make a mag cover, shared with a Chevy. Just for the record. Weather has been uncooperative at recent opportunities but other features are supposedly in the works, on vehicles I had kinda medium involvement in. Every time theres a feature, my kid self pats my back. If I went back in time and told myself what I do now, I would fully expect a Hell Yeah!

Matt, I was searching to see if anybody cut the bottom half of the cab of for rust repair. The spare I got with the 72 has a solid floor but the rear corners are gone. Until I get the 72 cab off the frame and see how big a mess it is, I don't have enough info to make any plans.

Cool 8)  I thought I had put a link up awhile back. We think articles like that are the best way to get exposure.

If you wish to look at them I have some pics from the 78 Bronco floor job but the cab corners are not same plus I stayed out of that area. I'll check the archives for floor work pics from the 67. Looks like your score is about the same color.

I just realized something... I will take some congratulations because I do believe I took the before pic. :shock:  :D  Hey! Now that IS something, to me. :)

One more thing if I may... last but not least...

That felt good, those guys never get their recognition. Hope nobody minds the plug.
