Old Friend

Hi All, I just recently had the opportunity to get my long lost friend back... 1977 F-150. Long story short, this was the first vehicle I have ever driven and now 20 years later I have it back. It needs A LOT of work and TLC but it's running and my 5 yr old Daughter loves it! We are going to have a great time putting this ole friend back together.
I don't know much about vehicles and never cared to know until now. I am mechanically inclined so I think with resources out there like this forum we will slowly get this figured out.
Goal #1 is to get the heater/defrost working again. Was working a few days ago and then just stopped... Doesn't make for a good ride to my daughters school in the cold am!!
To be continued...
Jason

Great to Have you here Jay. Man that truck brings back great memories for me too.

My buddies dad used to pick us up in a black 77 F150 to go riding all weekend on our ATVs.

Thanks Tony. I have lots of work to do but can't wait to dive into the next project! End goal is to get it back to its original orange (to match interior)... not to mention its my favorite color and you rarely see these orange anymore.

Any advise on how to get a signature with my messages? I cant seem to figure this and an user image out.
