Also hit all 5s earlier this week
I glad someone else pays attention to the Odometer Reading.

Those side boards are cool.

If you build Side Boards like those. / I got One Suggestion.

Well maybe Two

Well maybe Three


It would be Sawmill lumber sanded down.

I would use Sqaure headed bolts / So it was Era Correct and look like a Farmer done it.

I would also use a Forstner bit, so the square bolt heads did not stick out.

That would be a High tech farmers touch

Glad you had a Great time at the show.

Thanks for sharing the Pictures.

Tbone1964 hooked me up with a good odometer roll when I had him refresh my speedo. Maybe it was pulled out of a low mileage farm truck? I wouldn't be surprised if the cab and frame have over 150k miles on it
