BigBrother-84 Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 I am speechless, what a nice and very touching story! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckuske Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Great story, and very nice looking truck. That truck is a gem. I am on a similar journey restoring my Dad's 84 Flareside. It's not as nice as yours, but I am getting closer. My goal is to have it as close to stock as possible with a few incremental steps in between. Is that Wimbledon white? I just sent stock wheels (Thanks to Sac79/Rob!) out to get powder-coated, and the guy at the shop immediately rattled off Wimbledon as the color I would want for an old Ford (which I think is true). I have a very nice set of hubcaps already waiting.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did the same thing with my wheels but went the budget approach and stripped them to bare metal before painting them with Rustolium White Enamal and their clear coat.
