Newby from So Cal

Post by socal72 »

So my pops bought this beauty back in 72 and 36 years later finally agrees to give it to me. Well after long hours in the garage and a trip to the paint shop here is what I got. I will post more pic's later.
Great to be here and from the looks of things on this forum you guys love your Fords!

Socal,

You are a man after my own heart, I love a plain jane truck. Chrome and glitz just distracts from the solid basic design. If I were painting my bump I would remove all the chrome I could. Anyway, welcome aboard.
