The Green Machine Project
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.

I like restoring older vehicles too. That's a great looking truck.
