Finally on the road

I'm finally getting my 1953 f350 on the road, it's been two years. It's been at my stepdad's house in storage, transmission rebuild, took off the 2013 GT500 sequential tail lights for now and wired up the old ones. Have to bolt down the seats better, but I can do that at home. I'll see if I can get some pics tomorrow if it makes it home. Wish me luck!

The first drives can be an exhilarating clash of hyper-awareness and sweet ignorance. Enjoy the journey.

Many times referred to as a premature maiden voyage

It was a bumpy ride for sure... my airbags in the front do not lift the truck as high as I would like, so I have to run them at full psi (100) to have a decent ride height. I also have to fill the back bags pretty high as well, because the wood bed hits the differential. Gonna raise the bed in a few days and eventually install shockwaves.. All that aside... it was glorious shifting through those three gears and feeling the air come through the cowl.
