Hello from the U.K.

Hello, I'm based in Cheshire and the new owner of a 53 F100 pickup. I don't know anything about these pickups other than I like them. The pickup is fitted with a flathead v8 motor fitted with a T5 box instead of the original 3 speed box (I have the original box), other than that it looks standard. I'm sure i will have lot of questions once the truck arrives fron Alabama.

Hi, and welcome, I'm also from the Uk based in Hampshire. Sounds like a nice truck. I'm starting my search for a 62-65ish F100, Did you import yourself or have a company do it?

Thanks, I'm looking to use a company ship it, had a good quote from Mycarimport, so they may well get the job.
