I have photos but no way to post them. I used to be able to take a Flickr mobile link and convert it to one that displays here but that code generator went off line.

Then I discovered if I opened Flickr in a browser on desktop mode I could get a good link that way.

So today I upload pics to Flickr like a good forum member and then discovered things have changed at flicker. They reset everyone's password so I can't get in.

I use the reset pw link, get the email, follow the link that takes me to a login page.

I can't change my password unless I login.

Currently waiting for flicker to respond to my help request.

Wow!

Doesn't look like it needs a lot.

Don't forget the built in bike chalk and tie down points!

Looking like it. Turbo if I can make it all fit.

Someone put a mustang 2 front end in this truck and didn't really do a great job of it. The welds make me nervous and I'm not even trained to know what a bad weld looks like.

I wasn't planning to use it anyway so no love lost over cutting it out.

Mustang II front end.  Geebus…. I haven't thought about a Mustang II in ages!  [laugh]

FatMan fab does nice front ends, but it seems you have a plan already.

My most pressing challenge is that there are no bolt in/weld on kits for this vehicle.

I may just build my own.
