Starting today.......

My 70 XLT SWB went to the body shop to day. Here is a before shot. I will post the after shot in a couple of weeks. I can hardly sleep......

[71 LONG BED]

Wish my truck looked that good. It is going to be incredable when finished, I'm sure. Can't wait for the after pics.

[lazyj70]

Thanks 71LONG BED. It should be really nice. I have all new moldings, new grill frame and inserts, new emblems, and a set of 15 x 8" reverse Cragar S/S wheels with 275-60 BFG tires. So if it turns out bad I will be one sick dude.

[Big D's 69]

Good luck on the project. Hope it all turns out. That is a good looking truck as it sits.

[The Good Humor Man]

Must be something that doesn't show in the picture, sure looks good to me. I would be proud to drive that truck anywhere.

[460 crew]

I'm with them it looks good the way it is but I'm sure we could all use a facelift. Are you sticking with black again or did you choose a different color?

[lazyj70]

Yeah, I'm sticking with the black. I actually bought this truck off this site. That's how I stumbled onto this awesome site. Anyway, The inside of the truck is perfect and all original, so I don't want to mess with the inside and screw something up. Checked out you dentside. Nice Truck. 79? I had a 79 F-250 and did the complete restore. Later sold it to my bro-in-law and he trashed it. I was pissed even though it wasn't mine any more. Worked my ass off on that truck.

[460 crew]

It's a 77.5 so same as the 78-79's except for the gill and minor things you know. I used to hate the dentsides but I have somehow grown to love anything between 67-79. I have big plans for the 70 and 77, hopefullyin the next year they will both be near complete. Sucks when you see your hard work go down the drain. I sold my 69 2wd to my little brother and he tore it up a little and he eventually sold it to one of my best friends that babies it and hopes to fix it up a little, so it ended up in good hands. He is still mad at me for not selling it to him to begin with.

[rjewkes]

wow if mine looked that good i'd a found another engine before trading it off.

[TheEskimo]

That's the before, wow. Mine aint even close to lookin' that good. I'm with the rest of the guys, can't wait to see the after pics.

[frankc67]
