Hi from Down Under

Hello all,
I have recently brought a 1990 F-150, yet to have to delivered. It runs but has some brake issues and a few others things that will need attention before I can get it registered and back on the road.
I'm looking forward to learn more about the truck and the wisdom from all the other owners out there.

Yeah it sure is, right hand drive. Not entirely sure what else is changed on an Australia spec truck. I can only think of rear orange indicators and km on the dash.

Finally got the truck home. Looks like most of the emissions gear has been removed so need to sort that out and unfortunately its got a trans cooler leak so i will be flushing the auto once I get a new radiator.
