My name is Tom Duval i live in Suffield CT small tobacco farm town lived here my whole life,

ever since sophmore year i worked for the town Public worsk and plan on filling a spot there soon,
forst truck i did a refresh on was a 88 ford ranger 5 speed 2.9 4x4 and it was too small
i daily drove that til senior year and bought a 92 mustang with 41k on it previous owner was the origonal owner i paid cash for it,
No parents funding my fund here! got it super cheap without a motor
i had it running and driving april of senior year and proceded to have the fastest car in the parkinglot ( well atleast on fridays when i drove it)
i sold the ranger and bought the truck i have now 1992 f150 5.0 5 speed 4x4 short bed and love it just repaired the frame on it pics to come and bought a new bed a flare side bed i think will look good in Dark shadow gray

Welcome from SoCal Tom. Looks like you've jumped into vehicle restoration with both feet. I was like you 40 years ago and I haven't quit yet, sometimes to my wife's dismay. I also have yet to figure out how to post pictures here, so you're way ahead of me. lol
Keep that City job. The benefits will long outweigh any down side and keep the cash flowing.
