And where i had rust bubbles there still mostly there. but not bad for a first paint job, but the next time i get it painted im gonna pay the money and have it done but some good people.

pitte, Nice truck! I have traveled most of Asia while always looking for U.S. built autos. The only ones I have seen were when I lived in Beijing, I saw a few, (maybe same one 1990's Lincoln Towncars (Triple black, always!) I have always wondered what autos made to Europe but never expected a Ford F-Series! Was it purchased as a special order at a Ford Europe dealer or was it shipped over special? How many have you seen?

Smile 1989 F150 Lariat

Well, if you navigate to my gallery, I have a several pics of my 1998 F150, Lariat, 4x4, 5sp.
13,000 on new engine. Avg about 500 mi per year. I try to avoid snow at all costs, well, it's not the snow, it's the salt they put down here in New England I don't like.

'97 F350 4x4. GO BIG! And I don't mean the F250s...







Nothing small on this truck.


Gotta love those wheels! Stock steelies have so much more "truck" character... keep rolling-

there are a lot of american vehicles here in belgium ,for exemple i had a dodge B300 (1977 import)and a dart 270(1967 originally europe)before this one
But it's hard to find anything original intended for belgium.
When you find something original it's mostly with a slant six in it

This one is imported from amerika to holland(the netherlands) and then into belgium
This is the only one i know in belgium.

The later series F-150(let's say starting from 2000 and up)you see here more

Yeah I think its ugly as hell. I really wanted to do the black and silver combo but I really like your color scheme... It would be easier to paint just that strip rather than the whole truck...
