Hello. New guy here.

Hello. New guy here. I have a 1970 F-100 that I bought it in 1978 when I was a senior in high school. (i'll do the math for ya.I'm 60) I'm retired now so this is my winter project. Long story short. drove it for a couple of years,parked it,restored it 30+ years ago,parked it again,and now i'm going to get her back on the road. It doesn't need much,mostly interior and minor engine bay stuff, but I'm sure I'll have some questions for you guys. Thanks for letting me join.

Nice truck, it has a nice paint scheme. Always partial to green on a truck. I dunno why.

Green was a popular color once, then it faded (pun intended) away and trucks weren't available in green for several years.

In 2011, green was reintroduced in F150's, I've only seen one .. so I dunno if it's still available or not.

I live in LA LA Land, more F150's are sold here than anywhere else...except TX, so I see a passel of F150's every day.

Well "Fire Engine Red" is kinda played out, that's just me. I don't really care for metal flake either. Modern paint shades are kinda weird. I like the old enamel blues and greens. Sky blue, or dark blue. If I have to look something up to figure out what color it is, that's BS. WTF is "mauve" or "fuchsia" anyway?

Wow, that thing is beautiful and I'm amazed in such good shape for PA. I grew up in Kingston NY which is a straight line from the northern PA border to the Hudson so I understand the Rust Belt. One of my first cars was a 69 Chevelle 4 door in 1984. You could see through the floor in the back and there were huge holes in the trunk floor. But that's what you get with a $300 car, lol.
