New from DFW

Hey guys, I just picked up my first Ford truck a few weeks ago. I've been working on it on and off on the weekends and after work trying to get it fixed up. It hasn't been driven much in the past 20 years according to the previous owner.

It's a 1981 F150 Ranger 4x4 with a 351M V8 and a C6 auto. It's a single cab short bed.

351 + C6 + F150 + short cab + short bed + 4WD = tough little off-roader!

Welcome aboard!
