My 1965 Ford F-100

Recently, I traded my '91 Mitsubishi Mighty Max for a '65 F-100... What do you think?

Nicely traded! It is good to see people on the right track. Now if you paint the propane tank to look like a nitrous bottle most people at a car show would believe it.

Yes, I'm aware. I have no idea why, it doesn't even fit correctly..

Look at some of the builds on here. Some trucks are in considerably worse shape. If you have the time and money , you can do anything. Donor trucks help. And the guys on here!!

I've got a two older trucks myself, not really planning to fix them. One hasn't ran in 26 years(1958 Ford F-100) , the other (1957 Ford Panel Van) I'm gonna see if it can get it started this weekend its been 18 years. The van belonged to my uncle and he left it here, never came back for it. My dad bought the other in 1998, and did nothing with it. If I can use some parts off of them, I'll use them, but my 3 main projects are this '65 F-100, my '74 Ranchero 500, and my 1979 GMC Caballero. I'm focusing on the F100 more than anything.
