HI to everyone,i have a 1954 F-100 6 cyl 3 spd. The truck was sitting in a field the last 25 years so it's going to need a lot of work. I'm thinking just getting it running put it in primer maybe splitting the exhaust manifold and run around like that for a while. Any ideas would be

great.

Welcome! Nice find. One of the first things to do, is get it cleaned up so you can see what you have. After a complete inspection, list everything needed to make the truck SAFE, and roadworthy. After that take your time and enjoy, if that means running in primer, go for it! Get it out on the road, after that much time in a field, let it stretch it's legs....
