Is that ladder through the back window or is that just a reflection? Love the rebel flag on the roof. Both trucks look good.

Projectbad78 yea I was just playing with quicktime pro and made that video.

Hi, hope you don't mind if I chime in from spain. This is our F100 and yes it's got 20+ years of dust (and moss!) on top of it, but that's the best pic I have... The good thing is it has no rust, except for the mirrors, but those are going out anyway.

M78

We still have the truck without tags, sitting at our condo parking lot (yes the neighbours hate us by now, lol )
We've been working on it, slowly but at a steady pace.

Now It's got new tires (michelin) and the rims have been sanded and painted white (they were starting to rust a bit).

Apart from that, no exterior changes can be seen, but under the hood we've changed the thermostat and radiator hoses, cleaned the muddy water inside, new brake cylinders, shoes and hardware on the rear, caliper repair kits up front, new brake hoses all over, rebuilt the MC... just having some fun

One of these days we're going to try and wash it... I thihnk we'll need the grinder

Nice F100 short bed! Looks like it needs a bath, though! I bet there aren't many classic Fords like this in Spain.

Thanks JohnT

You're right, I only know two more around, both with barcelona plates.

And YES! It does need a bath!
