Hello all here from Connecticut

Hey all, my name is Mike.

I am the proud owner of a 2001 F150 that I bought last month. I am very happy with it. I paid $5K for it. The truck is in great shape for an East Coast truck frames got some rust but no rot and had only 98K miles on it. I have put about $1K into replacing parts, (ac compressor and a cv axle and new brake line , new calipers , break pads and rotors ) , but so far I love it.

I had to do a double take when you labeled the 2nd and 3rd pics as cv axle, lol. That is a sway bar end link.
