Here she is!
Bought a 1996 fullsize f150 as a project. So far, so good, I managed to get it to my driveway. Already ordered rear leaf spring brackets. Gonna try to tackle that project myself. Muffler system will be order sometime this week. Also needs front fuel tank pump, and the looks of it, some engine gaskets. I already have oil spots on the driveway I hope I'm not in over my head. First time Ford truck owner as I always had Toyota's.

These were the best looking trucks Ford ever made. Competition is close but these win for me!

They came with the EFI 5.0L, also the best Ford engine ever designed and made. My dad had a '95 with the 5.0L, 2WD and 4.10 gears. LOVED driving that truck!

Always wanted a jacked shortbed 4x4 of this style. Looks like you got a clean straight one.

Yeah, not a bad find for $500.

Coming along good. Including the $500 purchase price, it became a pretty good solid truck for a total of $2,100.

Welcome to the F-150 forum! Glad to have you join us.

Have any fun performance modifications planned for the truck?
