New to the Family
Hi everyone, I had been looking for an older Ford for quite a while and I finally came across this unrestored gem. I am picking her up tomorrow. I heard about her from a friend of a friend of a friend (you get the picture) . The guy i'm getting it from is 75 years old, owned it since new, 38,000 original miles, stored in a heated garage never seen snow. I didn't believe it when I heard about it, but it is nicer than I ever could have imagined for a truck in northern Pennsylvania. I picked her up for $5500.
There is a ton of useful information around here and I look forward to spending alot of time here.

That wrinkle finish on the roof looks great against the red.

re: New to the Family
I had never heard of a "spray on vinyl roof" (that is what the seller called it), but I really like it. How common was this?

Hi neighbor.Greetings from da 'Burg.Nice truck
We got another member in Pa.
Spray on vinyl roof kits were popular when Ford was building bumps.A lot of cars had vinyl roofs at that time and someone came up with a way to spray it verses installing the real thing.
