I'm back

Been a long time since I was on here. Gave my 82 F100 to my Son, got divorced and she sold it on him (He was 16 at the time) 😠. Anyhow, I just got this 77 F150 and got it back on the road after sitting for 12 years under a lean to.

Where she sat for 12 years. I got her running and gave her a quick wash down in this pic

Couldn't believe how clean the floor pans were

New carpet and she cleaned up nice

Nice to see ya back! Today is my first day back for about a year as well. That is a nice looking truck, they always look good with slots! Don't see many Explorers that are a Custom. Most all built like a Custom but carry Ranger badges. Glad to see it lookin good and under the hands of someone who loves it.

8-track player?!? HOLEEE Didn't see it behind that heavy metal flake wheel.

That's a planned upgrade for Cooter. l found an NOS Uniden under dash 8 track player at a yard sale--still in the box--for $10.

Only question: next to the CB Radio or in place of it?

Gotta keep the CB! I would have put one in mine but I couldn't bring myself to drill a hole in my cab
