Newbie here!

Hello All,

I have been on another Ford forum for about 18 months. I rarely get good answers about my old girl. Over and over and over again when asking Google about my problems/desires, Google brought me here. After reading about the 50th thread here (and getting answers) I figured I should just join up!

I spent a year rebuilding my girl and took her on a 2,300 mile road trip in July.

It's funny (to me) that I was asked how many miles are on my truck. I have no earthly idea, I am quite sure it is not the 24,000 on the odometer when I bought it though! Look at that brake pedal and give me your best guess! I have never seen that much metal showing through! (and it may not be the first brake pedal! lol )



Anyway, here is a before-and-after comparison with a couple of bonus shots included. Sorry if I posted too many shots! These pics represent a full year of my life and I tend to over do it!

BEFORE!

Wow, nice job!

I'll guess ~124,000, but Carfax or similar might be able to shed some light on that for you.

Welcome aboard!
