Hello, new here!

Hello everyone! I just joined up here and thought I would introduce myself. My name is Joe and I live in Indiana. I drive a 1990 Ford F150 5.0 EFI. Technically, my dad owns the truck, I just drive it to and from school. My grandfather bought the truck new in 1990 and when he died in 1997, my dad bought the truck from my grandmother. Now, I drive the truck mostly. It's a daily driver and a work truck. It has fairly low miles for it's age, it just rolled over to 103,500 yesterday. I like the truck, although it's not the best sometimes. Such as wednesday, the lower radiator hose blew because it rubs against the frame, and it's been having oil pressure problems for about a month now. Not to mention the A/C doesn't work, and the heater takes forever to actually blow hot air. But, it gets me from point A to point B. I would really like to refresh it to get it looking somewhat respectable, because I love the design of it, but it looks a bit tired and dirty. I hope to learn alot about my truck here. Thanks!

-SK
