Sweet! That's what my truck is going to look like 15 or 20 years from now.

What's she rockin' under the hood? 223, 292? "Other?"

Awesome truck, and best of luck with it! I think I speak for all of us when I say I'd like to see more photos.

Looks like a steal for 500! Good luck with it and have FUN; don't let the frustrations (and you WILL have them!) get the better of you.

Nice looking truck. What a steel.


mr4speedford, I'm new to this site, I'm trying to understand what you mean by this quote. Where is the "registry" I have my VIN F25V5G15146. I'd like to find out more info on a '55 f2 that my dad just gave me.
