Thanks man, I took a little more time with the rear... but these are temporary.
I'll eventually replace them.
I thought about using an extra Chino Military Spring for the front.

I think I'm going to mount the light buckets up on the fenders like the 36 instead of a on a bracket like the 34.

What do you guys think about these marker lights?
I might mount them on the rear bumper.

I like either way with the lights, mocked up like you do will offer better protection from impacts but the other way will just be a more "true" scale apearance and probably harder to build up.

The fake winch turned out better in my mind than it did in reality.

The front end looks great Johnny! Myself, Id mount the marker lights up there too, but they'll probably get ripped off at some point. Either way it's turning out to be a awesome rig bro. I'll get those LEDs out to you asap sir!

Well, it turns out my spare tire is out of spec by .17".

So, I just bought 4 used tires from R2J for $25... not bad but I really only need one of them.

I'm not sure how the larger tire will look up on the side of the truck, we'll see. I may end up just strapping it to the bed.

I was going to run these under the bed, poking out the back but they look pretty damn cool on display.

That is one sharp old Ford! I really like the orange and black scheme and I'm digging the stacks . What are the marker lights from in post #143? Those would be perfect for tail/brake lights on my rat rod. Keep up the great work man, I loom forward to seeing more.

I got them from gardentrucking.com (I think that's it).
I'll post a link tomorrow when I'm not on my phone.
They come with 3v bulbs.

I want to use them... I think they look better on the fenders now with the stacks.
