Hello, new '53
I would just like to say hello from Texas. I just picked up a '53 f-100 off of eBay. Had a '55 back 20+ but never got it on the road so ended up sell. Now that I am in a better place I have another Fat Fender.

Welcome! Be sure to post specs, plans and pictures, we love pictures! Once you make ~ 5 posts, you'll pass the super-secret initiation and a door will open allowing you to do searches, make gallery, send PMs and Emails, etc.
