Will be watching this... I have a 1965 Ford F-100 that is awaiting it's day. It was my first vehicle, and my wife and I dated in it through high school!

Looks motivating!

Hey there here iss a little update.

I got the frame up on the frame bench, got my ride height established (5" from rocker), built some fixtures to hold it in place, had to make some room in the bed cut out majority of it for now, layed out my cut lines on the frame and started cutting. Im moving up the rear of the frame 14" from factory so there is going to be alot of modifying, Ill keep you guys posted.

Until next time, Solomon

Awesome! I've been looking for a uni for about a year to build a pro touring truck. Since you beat me to it I'll just sit back and soak up all the coolness.
