another 65 F100

Hi all! Here's what I got when I put out an ad looking for "classic car wanted". It was sitting for years in a farmers field, I got it and put in a new gas tank and Pertronix ignition. Rebuilt the carb, new brakes and it runs fantastic! It could be a daily driver if wanted. I would love to swap an automatic transmission and power steering in it. Gonna Poppy's Patina it this summer.

Sweet! I love bringing stuff back into operation like that. I drove a '60 with no power brakes... Definitely not something I'd like to do for a daily driver.

I can deal with the brakes, it's the lack of power steering that makes it a bear lol
