Hi

Hi All,

My name is Sean and I bought a 1993 F-150 4x4 with the 5.0 and a 5 speed manual transmission from a rancher for $500 for the purpose of building a truck that I can take hunting or tow my boat to the lake for some fishing. It had been parked in a field for a few years due to an oil leak that the rancher thought was the main seal. It was in rough shape as any truck that spent 20+ years on a ranch would be. Had the wrong bed on it and was full of 20+ years of mud and enough hay to feed a horse for a week or two. Not to mention a few pack rats had made a home inside the passenger side headlight. It also had some dents from cows and fences and the paint was peeling off. But its now back on the road and I am working on the interior and few other little things. Here are a few pics of the truck:

Day I towed it to the shop after pulling out of a cow pasture.
How it looks now



It is kinda nice fixing up an old truck and getting it back on the road again. I am getting ready to start deep cleaning and repairing trim pieces in the cab. Seems like that is going to be harder than getting the mechanical and cosmetic issues taken care of.

Take Care,

Sean
