That's gotta be tough, even tho' I don't really like the "street" style I do appreciate a job well done and I think that your truck was done very tastefully, hopefully you'll get it ready in no time :thumbsup:
Was your orange mottorola the one that died? get a blue one to match your interior :D

good memory! The new one is black I can't wait tell I get it in the Mail!
 






Not as much as an eye sore now, ok so I talked to a buddy of mine last night and he is a body man at Able its a big body shop all over Alaska. He is going to help me replace my core support if all goes right. Then also I decided that since I'm going to have to wait tell my disability back pay before I get it painted I'm going to ditch the pear and just go Ford White with a med silver flake in the clear Crystal White. I think that will be sexy :salute:

Heres what I got now does not stick out as bad! Will look better when the fresh white gets dirty like the rest of the truck...

sorry about the crash, but its coming along great man, youre doing an amazing job keep it up :thumbsup:
 


















Danny, good choice going with the standard white. I've always loved how crisp mine looked. The pearl always looked kind of dirty from a distance. The touch up job is spot on! :thumbsup:

Touch up? Wait what? You mean my spray paint hood and and fender :D
 












I second the straight white. I'm not a huge fan of the pearl either. I'm not a huge fan of white cars, but I did have one in Bermuda (the only non-Ford product I've owned since '93....a white Hyundai Scoupe....right hand drive). It really is that much easier to keep clean looking, as strange as that sounded to me.
 






im different i guess, i like the pearl
 












any new updates or pics yet danny
 






Here is a quick update, I bought a core support yesterday. I went to a junk yard they had a 99-01 pearl white limited roll over. The I bought that core support so its white like mine :) I also but the over head display so I can see the temperature again! So now if I need anything else like running running boards or fender flairs I know where to get them!

Here in Alaska by book it says 12 hours to replace the core support. $800 for that time. My buddy said F that he owns a shop told me he would install it for $350. So if all goes right it should be in next week if he has 2 days of open time in his shop.
 






Get the fender flare if it's unhurt, the mounting clips and the bodywork/paint is worth it. Good find on the parts, find me a 93/94 Limited sunroof cover(gray), LOL. Was the bumper hurt much, the inner section and outer cover are not easy to find as you know.
 






sweet! glad to hear that you found a truck like yours. was wondering what was happening. even bigger bonus that your buddy is putting a rad support in you truck, they do require some labour, but they are not that hard to do, as long as you can weld. x2 on what CDW6212R said about grabbing what you can while you can. over the last year, i have only seen one limited in the bone yards here, and buy the time i saw it, it was picked pretty clean!
 






Oh, will that place sell seat tracks separately? Or can you remove parts, can you take off just the electronics from under the driver's seat? I have a spare memory seat module to try on my 98 seat track. Most of the parts are together under the seat, removable from the rest of the seat track etc. If it will work, I could do both seats at some time. Half of the work is in the wiring away from the seats though. The main six wires go to the LF door, one wire to the GEM, and one in the kick panel area.

Get a spare door panel or two if you need them, as well the wheels. Those Limited wheels are the best at clearing big brakes like I have. Most 16's don't fit well with big calipers.
 






Score! Nice find Danny.

The way that junk yard works if if I want something like the electronics under a seat I have to buy the whole seat. The major difference between My limited and that limited if mine is a top of the line limited and that is a base model limited...No sun roof no high end sound system etc. On top of that the interior is that tan so that wont work. I do have the Limited hub caps off of it. They were just laying on the ground so I through thows in my truck to. This junk yard charges a lot of money. They don't have a limited 99-01 bumper but they do have the bumper support and they want $200+ for that when I can go buy a new one for $150 and a new cover for $150. But at least I know where a junk yard truck is like mine so if I do need a fender flair at any point I can go get it. :salute:

You know it!

Yeah. if I want anything off this truck I have to take a friend with me he works for Able, a big McDonalds chain for body repair in Alaska. He gets a pretty good discount there. :) So yeah I will look into getting the flairs off of it and maybe the running broads. I have one new running board already that I ordered a while back so I don't know. This is a pretty exspencive junk yard so we will just have to see. 21 and disabled sucks ;)



I will be keeping you all posted don't worry!

Cheers!
:salute:
