Hello from Asheville

Hi folks,

I'm Ittenes. I recently rescued a 1983 Ford F100 XL (302) from the brink of becoming scrap metal. This vintage gem had been nestled in the backyard of a cherished neighbor's property for a quarter-century. Sadly, my neighbor passed away, and in his memory, I felt compelled to embark on a mission to breathe new life into his beloved truck.

This is my first Ford truck project, probably, I'm going to have a lot of questions, so thanks in advance.
