I like, how is interior? Any rust? What are plans if you have any?

Plenty of good threads and people in this forum to help you with whatever you decide to do

Welcome to the Orphanage! Of course I like the two tone paint. Is the drivers door the only body damage? Looks good from here.

Yes, it ran when parked. I'll have to clean gas tank, and check things over

It does have some minor rust issues, floor pans are good. Seat was gone when I got it, I may put some buckets in it. As far as My plans, Just restore it as best I can, and enjoy it

Nice looking truck. You even have the battery tray with the correct hold down tab. They often are missing and the obligatory bungee strap is used in it's place.

Thanks!! Has a couple small holes in the cab floor up by the kick panels, and some repair work in the bottom on the doors,and step wells. Nothing too bad

You might want to get Dennis Carpenters catalog, Mac's, Sacramento Vintage Ford......and I think there are others. Never hurts to have a nice assortment of catalogs.
