Hello, glad to be a part of this forum. My name is Joey, I own an auto repair shop in VA. I have done a dozen or so restorations over the last ten years for customers and former employers, but lately we have been slammed with requests and have added another employee to that side of the shop.
Two of the jobs coming through are this generation Ford trucks, and I figured the information would be useful, plus I tend to make rather detailed and in depth build threads for people to glean info off of.
