Bill - Glad you found the gallery. However, Darth's pic is so large it is extending off to the right such that I can't see all of it. And on this iPad it won't let me even scroll to see it. Plus, while I'm typing this response it won't show me all of the words I've typed as some are always off the screen.
But you can fix that by adding width="100%" to the code that was added to embed your pic. Just edit your post and put that code where it is shown below, although the stuff below doesn't have the <> ahead/behind.
Thanks for posting your truck, that's a nice rig. I was remembering some other (wrong) pic from FTE so it's good to have the right mental image 😉.
Gary, this is one of those posts that I can't get either the text or pic to fully display on my iPhone no matter what I do, so it is probably related to the image dimensions.
SHORT BED 4-DOOR DIESEL: 1986 F350 4x4 under construction-- 7.3 IDIT ZF5+GVOD
STRAIGHT SIX 4X4: 1981 F150 2wd to 4x4-- 300 I6 close ratio diesel T19, hydroboost brakes, Saginaw steering
BIG F: 1995 F-Superduty under construction— converting to 6.9L IDI diesel ZF5+DNE2
Jonathan - Yes, it only partially comes up on my iPad as well. Hopefully Bill will edit his pic's code, as shown above. I'm going to see if there is a way to may 100% the default - but don't hold your breath.

Perfect. Thanks. 👍 (One of the things I like about this forum is that you can use the full range of emoticons on the iPad. Like 🎉 or 🎊, or even 🏯🇦🇽😜 Yes, I know the photo thing isn't the best, but .....)
That picture was taken before I embarked on the upgrades. The blue and white truck in the background is "Big Ugly" the donor vehicle for the EFI and E4OD, a 1990 F-250, the one behind Darth seems to be a bastard child as I don't know how two Fords couple give birth to an S10.

I think they adopted it out of a sense of sorrow for the little tyke. Seeing it wandering around aimlessly in a sea of full-sized trucks, and wearing a bow-tie no less, would be enough to cause anyone to want to help.

Haha! My BIL worked for GM for 35 years or more, my sis also worked at GM, good thing I have the Suburban or they might disown me!
My answer to them, "I just like the Ford trucks better".

These are pictures of the top of dash mounts I made to allow a 1987 up dash to attach at the top in a 1986 cab.
Original left end dash mounting on 1990 up dash, there is a plastic insert that snaps in the hole.
Piece I made from aluminum with the plastic insert installed. Large aluminum casting is the parking brake and steering column support used from 1992-1997
Two center mounts on 1990, the oval hole is for the alignment pin to center the dash.
New center mounts, note the alignment hole in the left one.
