I sold this beauty back in February:

I had owned my '77 F100 since I was a 19 year old kid. It was completely restored from the frame up using rust-free body parts. I was sad to see it go

, but it went to a good home in Long Island, NY where it will be taken care of.

She's damn pretty John.

In Illinois as I'm sure you're well aware, it's tough to find a truck that looks that good that's more that 2 years old.

I wish I could save my Gramp's F150 Ranger. Learned to drive on that truck. It's been rotting away for years, no floor, most of the bed is gone, but still up and running whenever you turn that key.

Yeah Virto, I hear that! Actually, our lousy weather here in Illinois was a major factor in my decision to sell the truck. It was to the point where I only drove it a couple of times a month during the summer months, and the rest of the time it just sat in storage. I decided that rather than let it sit, I would sell it to someone who would drive it more often. I have to admit that after selling it I did have a bad case of "sellers' remorse", but knowing that it went to someone who will appreciate it and take care of it helps.
By the way, you shouldn't give up on your grandfathers' old F150. As long as it still runs, it can be saved!

My '77 wasn't too hot looking when I first bought it. Almost every body part had to be replaced during the restoration. I learned a lot about working on trucks from that old '77!
