First time Ford fullsize owner

I've acquired two Ford trucks that were destined for the scrapyard. The owner passed away and the family didn't want the trucks. I inquired about them and they said if you want them, they are yours. I just had to move them from the property. I hauled home a 1993 Ford F-150 standard cab short bed 4x4 and a 1995 model of the same type. Both have 300ci I6 motors and manual transmissions. It would have been a shame to part them out. Both need work and I'm here to learn what I need to do to keep them on the road. The dark blue truck will be a father-son project as his first vehicle.

I hope I can learn a lot from this forum and the members here.

Welcome to FTE. It sounds to me like you happened upon a double sweet deal. Regular cab trucks will, some day, be a rare collectors item.
Stop by the Tennessee state chapter and join them too.
