My name is Josh Giles and I’m from Kentucky. My grandpa passed away a week before my birthday this year and we were best buddies. He only purchased one new truck in his 87 year journey, a 1992 F150 5.0L 2WD. I have a ton of memories in and around this truck and was the only thing I wanted when he passed. It currently has 56k original miles and has never seen rain or snow. The truck is bone stock. The only thing he ever mentioned doing was putting dual exhaust on it, however, he was tighter than a mouse’s ear and would never spend the money. I am excited to be part of this forum and to learn more about these trucks, don’t throw rocks, I’ve always been a Chevy guy 😂

It didn’t need it but I had it detailed for his funeral

Thank you! It’s definitely very special to me and I plan to treat it just like he did. It is definitely going to be getting that dual exhaust he always wanted though!
