I am new to this forum and am proud to be a part of it. I have always been an f series man from my first truck; a rusted out 1976 f100 with a 390 4 speed, a 95 f150, 96 f150, 99 f150, 04 f150, 10 f150, 16 f250, to my newest project a 1994 f150 with a strong 302 in it. It is a 2wd but I want to beef it up and keep the rugged work truck exterior of it. It has some rust on it, not too much but it gives it character. I want this to be a runner not a looker. Any advice will be gladly accepted.
