Looking good though I'd offer a suggestion. Put a couple of wire ty's/ ty wraps on your wires around the tank, I wouldn't want them flapping in the breeze.

Now were getting into the details of things, If I had a Ford I'd be done by now :LOL:
A bit better again. My phone can't decide what color it wants this pickup to be, It always seems to be mint green or florescent. My wife's phone is works much better.
I put in a new fuel fill on the tank, I needed a better way to fill the tank. I used an old mouse chewed , pee'd on , and rotten bed board that was once new to mock it up. I bought a push fill cap so we don't have to take the cap off to fill. This should be about it for now on this thing. Tomorrow I'm going to get the 5.3 motor and send the harness and ECM to https://www.schwankeengines.com/ to get reflashed for this application and add 20 hp, and the donor 4l60e trans will get pulled this week. I'm going to try to make this one of the quickest repowers in history :LOL:. I'll start a new thread on the swap.
Push-fill cap: that's new to me. How's it work?
I reckon it has something to do with pushing.
I have one of those on my '66 F100...

Hope to get the A/C in this weekend, thought I'd start with the heater. I already wish it had heat last week when it was 40 deg, and I hope to not stop driving it till the snow flies. It's a Vintage Air unit, I have nothing to compare it to but it seems good.
Got the wood bed stained and varnished. My wife used some sort of paint and wipe trick for the color and we have 4 coats of spar semi gloss varnish on to protect it. Hopefully we can put that in tomorrow night.
That dark stain looks good with the bright paint.
Got the wood bed in finally. It will be nice to have this done, I was sick of explaining,
" Yes, we are going to put a bed in it, we just haven't got that far yet "
