    Been a member for a few years, lurked around on and off just dreaming, learning, and finding what I like. Finally, this morning, I scored my first ride - a 1964 F100 longbox. Going to pick it up on Saturday. Here's a few pics the seller sent me, more when I get her home and give her the full inspection.

    Right now the plan is get her brakes working and cruise her around town a little before the snow flies. The winter will be spent making sure she's mechanically sound, patching up the bed, floor and hood, and maybe do a 3/4 drop, who knows. The long term plan is to keep her pretty much stock, fixing things as time and $$ allow, and trying to keep her on the road as much as possible so I can enjoy the project. I will not be painting her until I can have it done right, besides I'm not sure I want a shiny show truck, I think she looks pretty good just the way she is.

    Thanks for the warm welcome everyone!

    You're not going to get me riled up about that, I'm imported from Iowa - no allegiance to Jackrabbits or Coyotes.
