The silver is looking good. They would look good on the truck as is in my opinion. It would resemble the Explorer grille that had all chrome inserts.

And I like green ones. :D

Is your weather stripping really new? That can make the door a little harder to close until it's broken in. I notice this with my passenger door – since it doesn't get use as much, it is taking longer to break in the rubber.

You didn't list your highboy Bronco.

So, what are you going to tell your kids when they're old enough to drive and you're not yet ready to give up these trucks? :wasntme:

On the interior – I agree, I'm not a big fan of red. The white accents would really set it off and make it look good, though. I like the seat in the pic you have. Is that a Lariat seat pattern? They almost look like buckets and that console goes to the floor – but I can see the back of the...

Oh, my lord. Did they fashion a radiator overflow tank out of a drinking canteen? I'm not sure if that's awesome or awful. I'll have to think about it for a while.

Yes it does. Good eye!

No, the emblems are in the right spot for a '74. But, it has the wrong grille.

I absolutely love the dark brown metallic. And with that tu-tone it is gorgeous!The interior in the truck was REAL sexy.

I have no issue with rpms going through the roof with 4.10's Maybe it's the 33" tires, or the cam, or maybe the fourth gear on the top loader is higher than the C-6 top gear. Or any combo of those things.

A ton of top soil barley makes mine ride any better. That's why the old seats are so nice and cushy. These truck weren't made to move when empty.smilieFordlogo

Is that a bra on the dashboard? I mean, obviously, if you owned that panty dropper you would have no lack of souvenir bras to adorn your dash. :)
