I use the liftgate,tray table for my nightly "Quit and Sit". I finish working, Quit, put down the rear table and sit . I enjoy my favorite beverage, (shown) and relax.

That is what I did. I took a used grill apart and painted separately. I like it.
Thanks,
Mike

Looks good Mike,
I have been wondering what you were up to. Guess I know now.

Yes, it seems to never end. I may have another one to build up soon.

Got some wiring done, but now have to lay off for a few days to cut some metal art for a show.

You think you are sick? I have this idea stuck it the back of my head of building a pro street BT6 powered 47 to 54. Chevy truck. I suppose the nice men in white suits will be paying me a visit soon

Mark, I have a 55 Ford F100, and two 48 Dodges. I also have an extra 6bt and the adapters for a GM trans. I just can't decide which one to put the old Cummins in.

Tough decision. Sight unseen I would lean towards the Dodge. Reason one is sort of obvious. Reason two. The dodges are rarer and best of all older. but Likely tougher to fit that long engine into

Trying to sell the two 48 Dodge trucks. I am going to keep the 55 Ford because it was my Son in Law's High School project. I will eventually give it to him and my Daughter.

That's different then. sentimental value trumps other things every time.
