Holy Cow !
I was clearing out my favs list of things I don't use anymore and came across Fordification. I was in a bad accident a few years back, broke my leg, shattered my ankle broke my pelvis,shoulder every rib and left arm and wrist. MyDad picked me up a 71 swb F-100 for us to restore as something to look forward to. They said at first that I wouldn't walk again so he made sure to get an automatic that could be converted for handicapped. Well its 4 yrs later and I'm walking fine and back working full time.The truck took a place on the back burner due to financial reasons, but I pulled her out this week to get her ready for a facelift. Back when I was bedridden I found fordification and emailed Keith back and forth about the project. Back then he just had a small place on the net and was in the early stages of building his truck. He was also expecting a little one if I remember correctly. I can't believe how much the site has grown ! I'll most definitely be here alot in the future,got a lot of catching up to do. Meanwhile I'm still where I left off back then (looking for a pair of 71 grille inserts) before keith left me in the dust .

re: Holy Cow !
Patrick,
from Florida!
Glad you're ok and back here.
I'll have the front grill from my 71' for sale, but probably not soon enough for you. I've got my "eagle eyes" looking for a decent 67 grill to put into my bump. They aint' real easy to come by.
