73 f100 to TTB f2500

Jumped the gun on the last post. Meant to attach a picture.

The whole bottom of the truck is done from the body line down, and the liner goes around the fenders too up to the body line.

Good to know - thanks Erik! Now what's that hiding behind the new truck in the picture??? Looks 70's-ish...

I don't want to thread-jack so I'll keep it short and sweet. It's my ambulance.

Back working on it. Finally got it painted. Looks like photobucket gave up, all the old pics are up.

Lookin NICE! Let me know if you ever get bored of it & want to sell. It'll save me some work...

Also - are you in the complex next to Volcom? Looks like you may be in the same complex where my old shop was.

Not interested in selling. Unless an offer I can't refuse is thrown out. I've got probably 2-3x the cost in time and labor to what I've already spent in $. Still got lots to work on, few more months before it's on the road. I'm on the other side of town off of baker between harbor and fairview.

I can totally understand not wanting/planning to sell. I just want to be 1st in line if it ever does come up lol! My crew was never supposed to leave my side and now it may/is. Just trying to keep my future open with possible replacements...

Yeah. I got a dakota digital cluster and a obd2 module to run the gauges.

This is what I did with the doors. Converted some dorman regulators to power using late 90s explorer motors. Made some door wire feed thru's. The arm rest pads are from an 87-93 mustang. They were different widths driver side pass side which made it twice the amount of work. The panels are abs plastic with MLV rubber glued to the back side. Was originally going to do upholstered panels but I like the textured look.

Made these the other day. I cut the seat backs as thin as I could get them so the seats can go back more.
