Mike I have one of shrouds for the HD LMC radiator. I am going to use it, but if you would like to take it home and see if it fits, you are welcome to. I live just down the road from you in Dickinson. I have not met you but I do know Max, Skip and Richard.

Well after a 650 mile round trip I now own Poweradders 66' F100. All I can say is WOW, it is a very nice truck. It is everything he said it was. On top of being very honest person he is a great guy. So thank again Jamie for everything.
I will be changing my focus now from my 63' to the 66'.

Thanks for the great welcoming from everyone. I will post some progress pictures of my 63' in the near future (once I figure out how to do it). All the chassis work is much complete, the cab will be next. I am looking forward to meeting all of you that live in my area.
