Hi All,
I'm new to the site. Just recently was able to purchase my wife's late grandfathers 1965 F-100. I'm excited to freshen it up and get it back on the road this spring. Its been sitting in the garage for past 3 years.
He was the owner of the truck since 1966. He owned his own shop and had a race team back in the day. He used this truck to tow the race car to the track.
Him and I had a connection with this truck, I have always loved it and he would let me take it for rides whenever I wanted. So glad to keep it in the family.
Here are a few pics from the day I brought it home.
Thanks for looking. Looking forward to being part of this site.

Enz100 Welcome to and the Slicks Forum

You have a prize there. I bet fresh gas and fluids might be all required to put it back on the road again. I would flush the brake system as well.
