The story

Traded a computer for Ol'Madeline. She was an old farm truck. She has an 8ft. bed, single cab. I've been working on a new interior: Carpet, Panels, Door and Window Seals, Dash, Headliner, Front and Rear Glass, New Custom Seat, more to follow.

She also has acquired 15" Turbine Rims (yet to be polished) and a set of 31x10.50x15 Pirelli Scorpion A/Ts that make her ride like a Caddy!

I have also been working on installing Air Conditioning! (remember I live in AZ) I have found a York compressor, all the ducts, dash controller, new heat and A/C Core components from a donor truck from a local Ford graveyard. It's mostly installed, but needs final assembly and wiring (again-learning curve)

Once the drive train and interior are complete, body and paint are on the list, along with a little 2-3 inch lift and probably some 33" tires at that point.

She runs like a raped ape, but I have not had her legally on the road since '03 due to all the mods I've been doing to her, so I don't know for sure how much I've gained in horse power over the stock config. — BigRed86
