Hello From TX

New member.
Just got rid of a some stuff. I used to build wind turbines and lived on the road for 4 years. Settled down and bought a house in North Texas. Sold the big fifth wheel trailer and also sold the 2018 Ram Cummins crew cab 4x4 dually (yes, I made a killing on it)!
I have a company truck that I drive full time and the wife has her car. I needed something to occupy my time and decided to buy a 1963 Ford F-100 (non-unibody). The previous owner had done some work on it and it is still needing some love. But I like fixing stuff and have pride in my work, so why not.
1963 F-100. 223 CI, 3 speed column shift. original paint, seat but some new interior stuff has been performed already. Original bed wood. new radiator but have the original brass one just needs re-cored. Disc brakes up front with a dual pot master cylinder because stopping is good.
Let me know what ya think.
Look forward to meeting everyone.

Replaced the bed wood.
https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...placement.html

Also have a new seat cover and new foam coming to redo the bench seat.
same style but a light cream color with grey secondary and dark grey stitching.



Also going to install a new headliner, replace the front windshield because of a crack and have the rear window pulled to replace the 58 year old, cracked window seal.
