This kinda my idea for the truck, grey top, white bottom, white walls, and the mooneyes on the bottom of the bed with the exhaust exiting right through them.

Wow, I don't have any pics of my truck after I finished the bed - guess I better get on that! Well, here's a pic of my 292 at least - reds headers and a Fenton 3x2 manifold w/ 3 2100 carbs.

EDIT: Guess the pic won't show.

Well, I've been busy working on everyone elses car or working at work to play with f100. I have been just brainstorming a ton and am stuck at a point if I want to go full out rat rod or stay closer to traditional hot rodding. I am kinda into zombie movies and books and it just hit me today to make like a zombie hunter truck. Kinda like if I hunted zombies I would drive this beast. My image in my head is obvoiusly a straight up rat but imagine a grill guard push bar, machette rack in the cab, wide drag tires in back, slightly lowered front end, intake sticking out of the hood, and.......... since it looks like the former owner hit a deer on the driver side of the truck(bent bumper,fender,dinged door,crinkled rear rear quarter) kinda like I plowed a zombie at high speed with a little blood spatter to add to the effect.
 
In a good way - you're weird.

Yes I am [ddev
I just have to many ideas for my own good really, the shop truck traditional just keeps making me feel like even though I'm not streetrod/retro rodding it everyone has a old shop truck and I'm not everyone. Sime shows like the hunnert car pile up done let "art cars" into the show but screw them ya know? Just looking to be different.

I'm also pretty indecisive with my direction of projects usually as well so that doesn't help. I really like this idea because there isn't really anything like it out there, hell maybe ill toss on some stacks with flame throwers to ....hehe
 
Remembered I picked up 2 good 35" a/t tires for my k1500 but never bought 2more. I scored them for 10 bucks! I plan to use them for the rear tires of the truck. That will give it a kinda raked look with race car rat fink style stance, but a/t for those off road zombie attacks[ddev
Probally going with stacks in the bed for the exhaust and thinking im going to cut out the bed floor and install some catwalk grating from where I work for the bed floor.
Im going to pound the fender out but im not fixing it anymore then that, just enough that it still somewhat has the shape of the original fender. Still unsure about the finish though, I really wish the idiot before wouldnt have tried to half ass paint it. Now im either going to sand it and spray it black or remove all the paint and let nature do its thing.
Ill mock up the wheels tommorow and put up pics.
 
Well I pulled off a rim and jacked her up to the height it would be with the 35s on her. I will probaly have to ad an inch to the wheel tub to get them to stuff in there nicley.
