Default New guy, new workhorse

Joining on, Been a Ford guy for ages. Mostly Mustangs and Capris, but theres a Ranger thrown in there as well.

I decided to make the 65,000 original mile 82 RS Capri the toy and get it off the road, so I bought a 96 4x4 reg. cab short bed F150. I love it, its a TRUCK, manual windows, doorlocks, no tilt, no cruise, rubber floor, bench seat, 300 I6, 5 speed, manual hubs, manual T case.

110K miles and ZERO rust. I plan on driving in until it dies, then rebuilding it for another 300,000 miles.

all this truck will get is a roll in liner, some more rust protection under the bed and cab corners, small leveling pucks, Ranchos, a high flow cat and a gobson catback eventually.

Gotta get those past the ladt first.

the old I6 shocked me actually. Its weird going from my 5 liter Capri to this.

The trucks no rocket, but it does okay for itself.
