Corky Coker picks a 55 F100 barn find

Maybe you some of you guys have seen this. Corky Coker pulls a one owner 55 F100 from a barn with a 52 F2 tow truck. It's about 27 minutes long and nearly the whole show is about the 55 and the neat 52 tow truck. I usually don't watch youtube videos longer than 2 minutes but I watched all of this one. Must watch!

Corky is talking about keeping the patina but it was in a shed that had one side partially open. So the patina or rust is more prevalent on the passenger side as that was exposed more to the weather.

Here is the YouTube link.

Here is a still shot.

I'd like to know, too. I searched for a part II showing us how it turned out. And you know, the truck wasn't all that great. I wonder what he paid for it?

One of the guys that helped push it in is the same guy tuning that mean flathead in "sweet sounds of a flathead" YouTube video.

It it might have looked better after they washed it. The hubcaps were pretty bad on it.

I think that I would have had to wash it down and get all the critters and rat poop out before I moved it into any garage. Them critters might abin looking' fer a better home.
