Looking great. Bumper flows very nicely with the truck. Great idea.

Re: My 64 SWB project
thanks 6ftdwn57 !! I also have an original painted front bumper that will replace the aftermarket one that is on the truck now, both bumpers will be the same color as the grill.

I really like the look overall. Flake and flames are outrageous AND the mellowed out just right.

Re: My 64 SWB project
Thanks for the nice comments guys! I'm considering making some of the tailgate patches to sell if anybody is interested let me know. They would be a trim to fit weld on repair for your rusted out tailgate and would fit 64-66 and the 67-72 like the one I'm using .
Re: My 64 SWB project
wow you do some good work

Re: My 64 SWB project
What size wheel and tire combo are you running? That is really a gorgeous truck.

Re: My 64 SWB project
The fronts are 15x6 with 205/70/15 and the rears are 15x8 with 255/70/15. I tried 3 different front tire sizes till i found ones that had the look I wanted. I also had the rear narrowed on the drivers side I think 2.5 inches in order to run those 8 inch wide rims with very little backspacing. I already had the wheels and was dead set on fitting them up in there.

Re: My 64 SWB project
I had a real photographer at my shop to shoot a bike and he snapped a pic of my truck. His camera probably cost more than my engine. And I also fit the a stock Ford front bumper and got it ready to paint. I didnt realize how bad the aftermarket one fit till i put the OEM one on. The bumper will be painted the satin gray to match the grill.
