Hello

My Dad was a Ford truck enthusiast and had several old trucks over the years to feed his nostalgia of his father's old T model. Don't recall him ever driving a brand new Ford truck, preferring an old one with floor or column shift and original paint. He did inherit his brother's 82 l9ng bed with extra gas tank in the 90s. Uncle lived out west where gas was often scarce. Papa seldom filled both locally where stations are plentiful. He retired from FOMOCO in the 90s having provided for a family of 4 and sending both kids to college, brother for 8 yrs. Here to learn and glean advice on dispersal of his last project, 35 ton half flatbed. Looking forward to meeting those interested.
