Hello from PA

Hi from Pennsylvania. I am privileged to still own the very first vehicle titled in my name, a 1956 F-100. Purchased from my brother when I was 15 years old. Doors off, bed destroyed, truck in bad shape. Got it road worthy in the early 80's. Put an oak stake body on it, wire basket wheels, new paint etc. Drove it for several years until mechanical issues put it in my garage. Life happened, got married, raised 2 kids and the truck was used for storage in my garage for the past 35 years. This was the year to get it back on the road. After 6 months of hard work and much blood sweat and tears, here it is. Completed just in time to be used for many pictures at my daughter's wedding.
