Newbie From Oregon

Just wanted to introduce myself.I have had the love or addiction for old ford trucks most of my life.I was lucky to find one last week and after some haggling and was able to purchase it. It's a 53 F100 with a 302 mated to a c6 tranny The frame is completely done and most of the body work.Really not sure what direction i am going with it yet just cant wait to get it into my garage for now.Looking forward to meeting new people and getting ideas and hopefully just maybe once i start tearing into this truck i can do the same.Thanks Brian
