Introducing myself and Ethel

Hello everyone, new to the forum but not new to fords. Just wanted to introduce myself and my new lady Ethel.

She's a 1983 F-150, 302 carb, under 150,000 on her. Plan on putting in some work on her suspension, steering, and drivetrain but want to keep her looking close to what she does now.

Just removed the smog pump (luckily had its own belt running to the alternator) and headliner. Lot of plans with little time and money but I plan on doing what I can with what I have.

Hope to contribute what I know with you all on the forums, I myself worked in bodyshops but now do construction, so if anyone has a question on painting and and bodywork I maybe able to help.

Nice ride! I had a 1980 Super Cab years ago. That truck shifted me from the General's products.
