Fulfilled a lifelong dream yesterday!...
...bought a 1955 Ford F100 pickup truck!
Ever since I knew what a truck was, I was drawn to the beautiful voluptuous curves of the '55 F100 (I've always been a beautiful voluptuous curves kinda guy!). A few of you know about my near-miss on a RARE '55 Custom Cab V-8 Fordomatic in Da UP (eh?) a couple of years ago, and how I've lost sleep over it ever since - well, I finally got to begin scratching that itch!
Anyway, this one's a straight-six Custom Cab - needs work, but it's very solid, and I got it at a good price. Let the restoration begin!
