1957 Project

I just wanted to introduce myself to everyone. I purchased a 1957 F100 from American Classics and Hot Rods in Minnesota last month. It came with a 312 V8, 3 speed manual transmission. My grandpa was an engineer in the design studio at Ford from the 1950s to the 1980s, and still tells stories about working on the first styleside F100.

That's a beautiful truck.
I might be biased.
Welcome.
