New Guy

Hello all.
I am a recently retired, cranky old guy that needed something to do . I was a mustang guy (65's). Owned one since high school and have had a least one for damn near 50 years. Sold my last one 4 years ago and thought I would never look back. However, I seemed to miss the challenge of making old stuff work and the pride that is garnered from problem solving and primping my "baby".
As luck would have it, I was blessed to be given today, a '64 F100. 6 Cyl, 3 on the tree. I have attached a photo that shows surface rust but beyond that the truck has never been hit. Some people see a wreck, I see a beaut!
A few upgrades that I envision after getting it to be a dependable runner are front disc upgrade, auto trans, and paint.
As in my mustang days, I will have plenty of questions and be looking for some of your suggestions.
Here I go again,
Ken

...anything you need to know, you'll find right here. Search the archives for previously discussed topics, or ask if you can't find it. The wealth of knowledge provided by the members of FTE has helped me immeasurably!
