Well, after a break from working on the truck and away from the computer, I've finally found my way back to this hole in the internet. I'm guessing most of you dont remember me or even have seen me around here before (heck, the only person i remmber is Gastrick), so i guess i'll do a little Re-intro.
My names nick, and i just recently turned 18. The truck that I have has been in my family for about 20 years. I grew up in it. Remember going on fishing trips with your Pa? well, this is the truck i did that in. Lots of people have told me to throw it away and start with something older, and in better shape. And time and time again i say no.
So, its a 1971 Ford F-100, with a mid-70's 302 and 4 spd. its got manual steering, manual brakes and no radio. it has some rust, but not alot. it spent about 6 years sitting in my carport covered in boxes and dust before i finally decided t resurrect it. I put the axle on top of the rear springs and cut 2 coils out of the front.
Anyways, heres some pictures.
