took a drive

out to willowbrook to check on the truck my wifes G-pa told me about. it happens to be a great looking 53 f100!!!! looks like its in running condition but i didn't have a camera and the owner wasn't home. the real good news is i know the owner real well, he's a plumber that i run into often she sits in primer grey, with recent rubber and a really solid body. i couldn't see any holes from a walk around, but there is some light surface rust. i'll be looking him up before too long to see if she's for sale!!!!
