Was gonna suggest long term storage myself. Years back when my ship went to Seattle, many people loaded their vehicles into the hangar deck and took them with. Unfortunately, that's not a luxury everyone has.

My hat's off to your for your service. Thank you.

First off, thanks for your service.

Personally, I would say bringing it to your fathers is the best for two reasons:

1) You know for sure that it will be taken care of.

2) It gives you an extra chance to see him for a few days before you get deployed.

The trip can be done in a couple days, so I would say go for it.

Should I just drive it up there and leave it with him?
Any better ideas to keep it in FL for quick access when I come home?

Been in 5 years and haven't been gone longer than 2 months yet. I know, I know.....
you can drive it up to me i am in south walton county like 30 min away from destin FL i will keep it safe and i will wash it every week with my truck they can be friends lol. thats a hard disision i know what you mean when you wont trust your friends with it i would not let anyone other than my family drive mine and they have to ask very nice haha. if i were you i would take it to me or your dad haha. i would take it to your dad.

Yeah, thats a good idea.

As for your signature though, Ford never put a V6 into a 96 or older truck with the exception of the 1981-82 CAFE trucks. You mean an I6?
