The Ford Barn

So about five years ago, I picked up a super beat up and junky Ford F1, came with a freed up 226 motor and three speed trans, make a long story short, I sold the junk p.o.s F1, to pickup this almost rust free truck yesterday

, I sold my frame,cab and front clip and title for the same asking price of this clean truck, its from down south, came with a 226 and three speed trans, freed up motor, and clean title, I'll not be changing a thing, just get it running and drive it like it is, Just need to get a pair of running boards

Back to the shop to work, I'll add more pics later....

We can all learn from this one ! There's an old saying, "You'll never make a mistake buying the best ! " here is someone who bought something he really liked, but then improved his position a whole bunch by using his head ! Anyone can buy a " Pig in a Poke " it's knowin what to do with it ! Congratulations on a smart move.
