New member, introducing myself

Hi all,
Over the weekend I joined the ranks of the OBS crew! I found a gem of a 1995 supercab and I'm excited to be back into a good older F-150! It's been so well maintained it's hard to believe it's 30 years old. Has the 351 powerplant, and not a spec of rust or a drop of oil. Interior cab, under hood and undercarriage are all super fresh. I believe it spent it's life in a garage and never seen salt. Only 116K, so I should be happy for a good long time!

Anyhow, I'm just excited to have the truck and I'm sure I'll have questions along the way so I wanted to drop in and say hi!

--Brett

I'm a huge fan of the OBS 92 to 97 trucks since I owned one...

Nice truck... looks clean. Good for you.

Very nice.
It must have been a fairly large garage to keep that one.

Thanks for the kind words, but I look forward to enjoying it everyday and not just the occasional weekend! I've been in a newer truck for a long time for my daily driver and I really miss the feel of a truck like this!
