Hi Guys!
Names Justin, new to the forum. I am the owner of a '95 F-150 Flare side Reg. cab. powered by a stock 4.9L w/ manual transmission. I have only replaced the stereo which was dead and the power steering pump which was going out. I repaired the AC, though it still has a leak behind the compressor. It has 260k miles on it and had a ladder rack on it when I bought it for my construction company. The company has since shut down and I sold everything but the truck. As times got harder I was able to sell everything but the truck and now that things are going back up, I have gotten kinda attached to it. SO in honor of my rise back to success, I wanted to make this into my project truck and bring it back into the light as oppose to the ashes. Like a tribute to the phoenix which is my personal life. It was a company truck so it was ridden hard and put away wet most days. Im sure the foreman's didnt keep up with the maintenance, but i have since it became my daily driver. Its still a beast of an engine and from what I hear, virtually, indestructible. But I have tons of options and direction to go on this and am hoping to share and document my progress with you fine ladies and gentlemen. Thanks ahead for any help.

Glad to see your older truck. I am getting a 87 Lariat with 160,000. Runs like it was just broken in. I was beginning to thick everyone here had a newer truck.
