Hello from Oklahoma. Finally drug my grandpas 1 owner, bought new from the showroom floor 68 F100 Longbed 360 3 Speed out of the pasture. Its been sitting since 1996. I have slowly begun work on it. Brakes, Spark plugs, battery, fuel lines. With a lot of prayers and a few conversations with both grandpas up above I have got it started. Have to trace down a bad ignition coil wire before its good to go but it started and ran on a jumper wire. Also have to get the brakes bleed. Hopefully soon I will be ready for a trial run around the neighborhood!
Can't get pictures to upload but will get some up soon.
Here are some pics of it when I dug it out of the pasture. Will update more as I get it out to see daylight. Hopefully sooner than later.
