Hey thanks. My name is Mike, I live in Compton Ca and love my truck. Ive been wanting a 78-79 ford pick up since I was 13. I had a friend that had 2 and passed away in a motorcycle-car crash. He died and his mom wanted to keep the truck so I spent most of the money I had saved up finishing is truck and leaving it alone forever where nobody will ver drive it again. So I did that and decided to buy my own and start off. I bought this truck in some pretty bad shape. Not as bad as some but wasnt in the shape it is now in. Now Im in the process of taking out the engine and start with that to have the full paint job (whole truck and firewall). I guess since there's many people out here from the Socal area Im willing to meet people that have parts for sale to finish it off lol.

Thanks again for your comments..

Welcome to the So Cal Chapter!

That is a very nice truck. I like the dual side-dump exhaust.
