Thank you in advance for what promises to be a well-used resource for my recent purchase.
in the last week of September, I picked up a "project" F150 from an acquaintance that no longer had the patience to maintain her. The timing was perfect in hindsight, as we were sandwiched between two of the enormous wildfires that hit our community last week, and she saw immediate duty evacuating friends and family. We're currently using her to transport donations and relief goods between service organizations and the evacuation shelters.
I'm looking forward to completing her restoration. From what little research I've been able to complete, she's one of the last to roll off the Milpitas line. She's in good structural shape with no rust. I only had time to complete re-installing the emissions parts suite before the fires. If I can get her to pass local smog test requirements next week when the smoke settles, I'll get to work on her rough cab.
Much appreciation to Gary for maintaining this resource.
