My first vehicle was a 1974 F100 Custom, LWB, 2 wheel drive. with a 360 3 speed manual. I loved that truck more than life itself back then! And I guess this new truck brought back those memories of the "green monster" as everyone in my family called it, and I had to Have it!
I was a certified mechanic,(let my certifications expire) although I haven't swung wrenches for profit in a number of years. I have never really restored a vehicle so that part i am going to need some help with. And this place seems like a good place to get technical assistance which I'm sure I am going to need in the near future! I work for Ford Motor Company and did work in the Dynamometer lab testing engines for 8 years. If I can Help anyone out with any technical assistance I will try my best! I do have one question to start off with. Does anyone have any experience with this POR-15? If this new truck IS as rust free as I am hoping I want to preserve it Right away! I am thinking about using that or rustproofing or a combination of both to preserve it. It will be used in the winter and i don't want the Michigan salt to eat it away underneath me! Any experience and personal insight on this issue would be greatly appreciated! Once it is here I am going to take a large number of pics to document it's as received condition so I can document it's restoration. and I will post them to find out what you all think!
