Greetings from Iowa

Hello all, as it says above, I live in IA. Des Moines to be exact.

Truck: 78 F-150 2wd 300 I-6 NP435
Red and white XLT, rusty but trusty

Bought it this spring from a family who's grandfather bought it new in 78. 180k miles on it, but still runs like a champ after a couple of new gaskets.

Hope to see all of you around.
