Might have stuck out more if it was on the silver part of the tail gate, no? Anyways, looks good.

Anything on the doors for advertising? No phone or website on the back aslo?

Yeah i have Andy - after we sold the Pub i helped out for the harvest season on one of the local cocky's farms and when that finished i decided to go back into our family's workshop and help out my dad who has now decided he wants to slow down a bit..... he has been having legal battles with the local council over the fate of the building so we,ve been keeping it low key while we sort through the planning issues.

The plastic panel that should have been on there has been missing since i got the truck and i've been tired of people assuming it's a chebby (out here if you've got a usa truck it's normally a chebby - just ask my best mate) so i asked the local signwriter to print me up a ford logo and F150 badge for it and he suggested to put the company logo on it.
I really want to paint the truck this coming summer so i have been holding off on putting any advertising on it until thats done.
Probably shouldn't be using my truck for work with gas prices being what they are but after wanting one of these for nearly 20 years i just really enjoy any excuse to drive it ...... plus i get to write off the cost of fuel through the business

so, are you a mechanic by trade?

 

[kiwi f150]

No never got qualified just put in a few years with my dad in the workshop and we also developed a car sales division before i left to take on the leasehold of the pub.
Before that i spent some time working for Tait electronics installing r/t and h/f radio sets into vehicles and repeater stations but originally learnt a lot of mechanical stuff growing up on the farm ..... it's something i really enjoy and i'm hoping to build the business up to where i can take on a qualified mechanic to be able to start issuing WOF's (bit like you guy's going over the pit's) then i will be able to concentrate on tyre sales and look at importing more cars.

That will make you REALLY popular among your mates!!!

Whoops got that bit bassackwards Wof = warrant of fitness and after your car is 5 years old your car has to have a safety check / WOF every six months - it typically takes about 1/2 hour and my nearest competition charges $48.00 for it.
The big upside is that if the car fails then normally you would get the required repair job.
Yep you're right it would really make me popular amonst my mates Andy as they would be hoping we'd just write out a wof and slap it on thier windscreen without looking at the car...... huge fines for getting caught doing that.

Yeah, been a few caught around here lately, now everyone is anal about inspections! Best to do the right thing from the start
