That's a stock piece....came out of my F250CS...I have 2 actually, but the truck is in storage and they are buried amongst all the rest of the parts :doh: The fuel door was cut out of the bed of the 76F100 I used for my disc brake upgrade :thup:

Randy...I wish it could be sooner, but the only gain on the new shop is the gravel base(and I still need more)for the concrete slab....back elevation had to come up bout 3' to level off my site.....24x36....and if I've done my homework right...after the slab's poured...the backhoe is up for sale and should cover the cost of materials :woohoo:

Love your thought process on the backhoe-the slab will be more than worth it, I'm doing something similar to get back to Florida if all works out right. :thup:

:roll: All of the material to finish it is sitting in piles inside it. Drywall, OSB, Insulation, Electrical wire and outlets. I'm slammed with work(thank God) and have had very little time to work on it. :hmm: The garage doors are installed and the last of the steel is done. My cabinets come next week and I do park my work van inside now. My hunting season is non existent :lol: but, I'm still going to try and get the "Old Girl" home by spring :woohoo:
