Hello from Poland!

Hi FTE community!

I've recently acquired my first Ford truck, an '85 F-150, that's been sitting for at least 2 years and it's not in the greatest condition. I'm from Poland, the car comes from Sweden and it's totally rare here where I live! Even though I haven't managed to run it yet, not at least once, I'm loving it I've already read and learned much but I'm desperate to eventually run it so I thought it'd be great to get in touch with you.

If anyone wants to help, please take a look here: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...ont-start.html

Here's my rotten beauty:

Welcome to FTE. Hopefully the engine looks better on the inside than the truck looks on the outside. That's a good amount of rust.

LOL I love it. It's neat to know there's one of those over there. Reminds me of the Ford pickup in "Behind Enemy Lines".

They must have interesting stories to tell.

Welcome aboard!

Thanks! All I know is that the truck came to Sweden from Michigan in the 90s and considering its condition it had a very tough life, like a donkey beaten every day

Loved that movie and I remember that red truck very well!
