What year and make is his truck? It looks custom. It's cute. Looks like a toy.

It's a 1953 Ford F-100. It sits on a 1979 Ford Bronco 4x4 chassis.

WOW - did your hubby do all the work on it?

No, most of it was done by a man in Pa. I did the interior (put the padding and carpet down). We still have a few things to do on it, like a wiper motor, a heater and a little cosmetic work.

Well yesterday we turned in the accident report to the DMV. Tomorrow we take the Dodge into for the repair estimate. Hopefully repairs can be done soon.

Today is the day, my truck goes in for an estimate of repairs. I will try and remain calm, I am just now starting to feel a little more relaxed. But that may change when I get back in the truck to drive into town.

Well, the estimate is in.........$3000.00 worth of repairs.

They said a lot of dismantling has to be done in order for the work to get done. The canopy needs to be taken off, as well as the BedRug (if you don't have one of these I suggest you look into one) they are wonderful. The passenger rear door has to be taken off to repair and the nerf bars are being replaced.
