Hello

New guy here saying hi to all. I am the current care taker of 2 obs ford a 95 F150 ext. cab short bed 5.0 and a 93 F150 single cab short bed 5.0 both autos and 2wd. Decided to join to get some repair advice I'll post up later in another thread. None of the trucks are perfect but both are southern rust free trucks with tons of life left in them as long as I keep up with them. Picked up my first obs in 2018 (close to me) a white 95 5.0 (good condition except paint) and the 2nd one this year my father spotted the Medium Cabernet/Smoke metallic 93 in Ga ( this one was in rough shape). All my plans for the 95 came to a screeching halt with this 93 presented itself and became mine. After that just getting it up to daily driving condition has been priority over the 95 (already daily condition).
Here are both of them




I also own a white 95 Mustang gt 5.0 so that's were my user name come from. I used that name on mustang forums I used to visit but I have parked that mustang in Ga. many years ago. I see/drive it on Thanksgiving and sometime Christmas.

95 cleaned up, pretty much looks the same from when I bought it.

Here's the 93 after a wash, paint was very neglected

Started the paint "restoration" on it and took a 50/50 of the red

The silver I thought was to far gone both good ol' Klasse and a Flex polished and polishing pad paid off big time

Red was all done and half the silver was done so I grabbed a shot of it. Man was I excited to finish

All done and it was ready to hit the highway and take me back to SC. Crossing my fingers and praying it doesn't leave me stranded. Smooth ride the whole way home. It waited to get me home to show me why it was sold lol
