I think there are some other songs that need to be added, especially the following:

Initially, I thought the Thunderstruck count was low...realized it is spot on.

I like the added touch of the Bison light box. Who did the paint job?

Looks nice, but it should have the official NDSU font on the tailgate. :)

Probably need to clutter it up with that TM symbol then too though. /purple

Agree that the tailgate font is wrong, but I would have copied the Ford font that was originally there. Also don't like the style of the faux roll bar. But my family had a pickup very similar to this one for many years, so I'm overly picky about it. Love the overall concept.

Nice TRUCK! We had one but it was a 250 2wd with a 360 V8. Flooded it one time after basketball practice on a cold night and the cenex guy I called for help nuked it with a can of ether....

Hey, how long will headers last in a 289 V8 vs. cast iron exhaust manifolds??

Good job on the shade of green and yellow. Easy to not get them right.
Good job on the tailgate also. I like the NDSU letters in the Ford font.
I don't think some people realize how much work you put in the tailgate. Correct me if I'm wrong, but you would have had to cut the FORD out of the double-walled tailgate and then find someone to press NDSU in a new piece to get the raised letter. Than re-weld that into the hole from the old piece, grind it down flush and paint the whole tailgate green and than paint the raised letter yellow. Not easy to do and make it look as good as you did.

A long time if they are stainless. Less if they are cheap Chinese thin wall mild steel.
Cast Iron manifolds will damn near last forever.

The faux roll bar flat out ruins that truck for me. Take it off and I will make you a real one.

Than re-weld that into the hole from the old piece, grind it down flush and paint the whole tailgate green and than paint the raised letter yellow. Not easy to do and make it look as good as you did.
But they're not in the Ford font from that era. The real Ford font is more centered and has a lot more negative space in the letters. I'll try to attach a photo of an original part for comparison.
Difficulty-wise, I think it would be difficult to do what they did, but not as much as you think. The letters would be the easiest part. Just have them cut out on a water or laser CNC machine, then weld them onto a flat piece of sheet metal and grind the edges to simulate the pressed original. As for replacing the original, I'd just cut out that rectangle right where the flat section meets the bevel. As far as welding in the new panel, I'd probably tack weld a couple light rods(like the kind used to pull out body dents) so that I could suspend the panel in the hole while doing the welding.
Side note, I wish there were different tail lamp trim pieces available for the 73-79 F-series for when you're not using the optional tailgate trim. They just don't look quite right without the other trim panels, and it's way too difficult to modify the originals(lots of aluminum detail work plus re-chroming).
