Hello All and a question ...

Just picked up my 59 F100 Custom cab last weekend and joined the site. Have had some classic cars/trucks in the past though none this old. For those who have gotten a Marti report for their truck, do you think it was worth it ? Or do the VIN & data plate give you as much info as you are going to get ?

Welcome to the group. Your data plate and frame serial number are all you can go by. The Marti Reports aren’t available until the 1967 model year. Stu

There’s something about the look of these trucks. My wife was out to lunch when I bought mine- sent her a pic and she showed the other wives- I got a text back saying “Mater.”
At least yours is on wheels. Good looking truck. Have fun.
