Mack's Sevnty MINE Ford.

[Mack]

Ok, first build on this rig was just over 20 years ago. Last year I got the urge to make it my DD, so here is how it has gone so far. Remember, Im not a bodyman, just a mechanic with love for my Truck.

[Mack]

Bed floor was rotted so this was my fix.

[Mack]

One side of the bed was crushed so I learned how to reskin it. I could only find a LWD skin so I had to get it and cut to fit.

[Mack]

I had a hard time with one dent in the budy line of the door, so cut and weld again.

[Mack]

UPS hates me, we had to switch to truck frieght.

[Mack]

The seat had seen way to much use, it is back together now.

[Mack]

The 15X42 Swampers didnt fit the bill for a Daily Driver. First Set I tried was 37X13.50R15 Swamper M-16. Just didnt have what I was looking for on the truck so they got moved to my Jeep and I switched to Toyo MT 37X14.50r15 now.

I fought body work quite a bit. My home compressor gave up so I took it to my shop for a few weeks. Kinda sucked because this started out to be a Family project, and here I was gone again at night. I was getting close to trying final paint when the Galvy panel behind the hood decided to start peeling. I sealed the truck with a gallon of rustoleum over the urethane sealer and decided I would get back to it one day.

[Mack]

So, for now its black where it should be red, but I have driven it all over the state. Currently working on repowering it, then maybe back to try painting again.
