1947 Ford f100

1947 Ford F1 Pickup

Made into a beautiful bench

I found this beautiful pickup from Brenda  
 

She sold me back of the cab and the tailgate. I had plans to make this into a twin bed but was throwing the idea around about making my first bench.

      .

I really liked the yellow color and wanted to keep the color.


I found a bumper and lights from the salvage yard, and had bed sides made.


After I got everything welded together, I sand blasted all the paint and rust off to give it a lasting paint job. I got some wood and gave it a ruff beating to make it look its age. 


Staying true to the yellow color, painted and giving it a weathered look.



 Wired the lights, install the glass and put on a old licence plate to complete the look.
