The Ford Barn

So before I get into it, I'm brand new here and have been lurking a little while reading the oil threads... but I thought I'd chime in with a question. I couldn't find a dedicated thread for this kinda thing so I figured 'Early V8' would be as good a place as any.

Important bit: I have Ford F3 8BA powered pickup. I'm in the UK.

Little history, the truck was imported into the UK in about 2014. I am the second UK owner. It is a very original example which is what I wanted.

I have a Washington title for it and original plate (or what is believed to be the original plate ) where it was I presume sold by Lost & Found Classic Car Company based in Washington. Though the title says Barn Fine Classics So..

maybe a trading name or something.

Obviously this is dating back 10 or so years now. though I did find an old for sale video on youtube from the company though which was kinda cool.

The Title is the sum total of the paperwork I have with the truck haha. Which I guess was kinda expected considering its a pickup truck. I does retain the build plates in the glovebox and bulkhead and I wondered if there was any way I could trace any kind of history from here in the UK?

I would love to know where it was built, if it was always a Washington truck or if it came from another State.

Any ideas or help much appreciated.
