Hello to all
Just want to say hi and introduce myself. My name is Mark and I have a 59 F1 short bed I,m slowly rebuilding. Not restoring as I,m upgrading the running gear but no mods to the look- I like the style to much to change it.I live in BonnyLake Wash.(between Tacoma and Seattle) The 59 was my daily driver till the 223 finally gave up( was second rebuild on it) Anyhow could not bring myself to junk it out if you know what I mean. So it,s in the garage going back togeather as time and $ allow. Will post up pics in a gallary as soon as I figure out how. Sorry this is starting to get kinda long winded so will back out for now just want to say hello.
