It's taken 6 months to do, but my latest restoration project is almost complete!

Thanks! It is a 96 with the Power Stroke, and only has 43,000 original miles on it. Geared like a tractor, this is one pullin' beast! Looking forward to pulling my 20' flat bed with my skid steer and tractor on it.

Yeah, I love those old Fords myself. The 7.3 was the best diesel Ford ever made. Yours is nice looking. I have an old '94 with the 300 CID inline six that I paid $1000 for 8 years ago and that old truck is still running like a top. People ask me why don't I get a newer truck.......nothing wrong with the one I got! Nice looking truck you have there!!

Thanks again, Tired Rooster. Truth be known, I would much rather fix up an "oldie but goodie" than buy a new one.

Awesome job restoring that beautiful truck. It looks fresh from the factory! I am hopefully getting a pickup in the spring, after getting a tractor a few months ago. What do you recommend for a small animal farm (2 acres, but a lot of animals).

Great job on a well done restoration job!

Thanks Coinman! Good luck with your truck purchase. My sister and her husband found a fairly low mileage Chevy S-10 4wd pickup that they had restored, and they use it on their farm and love it!
