73 F100 Grandfather just gifted me, I was 5 when we drove it home off the showroom floor. 78,000 original miles 390/C6 Put a battery in her and drove it home. Looking forward to showing everyone the 21st century updates I give it. As you can see in the background we're a Ford family. Daily driver 03 F250 V10 7" Pro Comp lift 37" BFG KM2's. Just joined the site looking forward to meeting other Ford lovers!!!

 

NICE! That's pretty much what mine (the Pumpkin, now being restored) looked like when it was new.
What are your plans for her?
Be sure to post LOTS of pictures.....we all love truck ****.
BTW Welcome to FTE. Lots of good knowledgeable people here.

 

The color stands out for sure, but that's what I love about it. Planning on some drive train upgrades and maybe lower it a touch but want to keep it as original looking as possible. How is your restore coming along, I have a bit of normal sheet metal to repair (cab supports up front) but all in all she's pretty good I suppose.

 

Sweet truck with a good story to go with it! Welcome to the forum.

 

Slowly but surely it'll get done. Here's a link to my build thread. When you start on yours you should start a build thread too. You'll get lot's of encouragement and ideas from fellow members.

Holy crap that thread is awesome!!! I will try the same thing, thank you so much. It's so funny I thought my truck was the only orange one out there..

 

That is a great story.
Welcome to FTE.
Please keep us informed of your progress with to many pics.
We love it.

 

Congrats on the "new" wheels! It looks like it's in great shape.

 

Nice looking truck, and it's awesome you are keeping it in the family!

 

Thanks all, just started a build page in this section.

 

congrats on the truck! Looks like youve got a solid foundation to build on.
