Here are some pics for the truck as we are trying to wrap up some final details to get the truck to interior. We are using a new shop for us called Stitch by Stitch Interior in Yucaipa, CA. Jan has really knocked it out on the seat in the truck.

In the 4 corners of the bed we made these compartments, The back 2 are use to fill the fuel tank and battery box. The front 2 will be ice chests.

Really like the tail lights and Ford emblem out back. Interior is all class. Really like the pattern in the seat and the colors. The bed has good lines but it's everything in front of the doors that says Mac truck to me.
Taking a second look if I were to do one, hind sight being 20/20, I would raise the front bumper just under the head lights and put the signal lights in it. Custom air dam below bumper. Then I would slope the nose of the front of the hood and give it a cowl or something in that direction. I think that would give it a little more aggressive style. Thats just me though and I'm sure the owner was going for exactly what he got which is a classic styling.

I can agree if you were paying the bills. But the customer wanted to build this for his son-in-law and this fits the bill perfectly. As you can tell the owner likes to cut some things up, we did that and more on the 48 for his wife. But Frank and I worked with Andy the son-in-law to build this to the end result desired. In reality the customer is total happy and after that Im done. Tomorrow we will have lunch catered at the shop from the owner to thank us for once again fulfilling there dream.

You made a swan out of an ugly duckling there. The color, the interior, the stance, wheels are all a perfect match for that body style and the subtle mods you've made. :thumbsup:

the only thing you need to put it over the top is a set of Intros :rofl:
