Not bad. From the side it looks like it belongs. Comparing the rear to the front of the truck needs some work. Rounded tail lights versus flat on the front. However, it would be a quick fix to a daily driver. You can only look at one end at a time.

I am considering this power window conversion on this truck. Any feedback on it.

I don't know anything about the kit, but it says only one left.  With a 30 return policy.

I have discovered I have a $150 truck. Every time I order something it's $150

I started building a new rear axle. SN95 Mustang with a 3.73 locker, 31 spline axles, and F150 brakes.

I'd be interested in the details on that, especially the F150 brakes. Late models are so heavy a lot of them come with brakes that are every bit a good as all but the high end big brake kits when it comes to smaller, lighter, older cars. Or for that matter they're a massive upgrade for older full-sized cars too.

You have to change the housing ends to use the F150 brakes as the bolt pattern is different. I am changing the ends anyway so I have the 9" ford big axle bearing and to eliminate the C clip axles.

I picked up a pair of Ranger stepside bed sides, I am going to try fitting them to my Studebaker box. Best of both worlds if it works out.
