Thanks guys, I did run into some problems this week that really pissed me off with the truck but they all seem to be resolved now, so i'm not quite as sour. On Monday I was about 2 miles from home heading to town with it to get my title and register for the truck and everything when my hood caught wind and blew up leaving me looking like tommyboy going down the State route. The hood came back and cracked my beautiful brand new windshield that was in for about a week, Didnt hurt the hood. It was one of my top 5 maddest moments of my life. Thankfully Bigwin56 had one laying around so I replaced it yesterday and was able to register the truck today.
On a side note the truck is titled under an "Assembled Vehicle", assembled in 2012 sooo i have a 2012 F100 which I could not get historical plates for.

Hey Drew,
Congratulations on getting your truck licensed & out driving!!!!
You have to expect some "shakedown" issues as you first get out there.
We had a lot of things to figure out when we first drove our 1950. Like you we were taking it to get the license & all 4 brakes locked up about a mile from home on a busy street grrr.... Waited 15 minutes everything was fine - get another mile down the road & it all locks up. The brake pedal rod was just a fraction too long & would build up residual pressure - took a while to find that.
You are doing great - Drive the heck out of it.

It seems like all vehicles would be titled as "assembled vehicle's" since they were all assembled. So in Ohio, does your title actually call your truck a 2012 F100?
