Family Heirloom

[J.W.]

Hey everyone. Just joined the site. Looking forward to gaining some good knowledge here. Here's my 78 F100 Custom. My dad bought this truck new in 78 and it has stayed in the family since. Lots of good memories with this truck. Its the truck I learned to drive in, had my first date in it, hauled my first deer home in the back of , etc. My dad "officially" gave it to me about 10 years ago, Unfortunately I wasnt smart enough to keep it up properly and it has deteriated over the years. Well, now I have a little more time, and money to bring her back! I changed out plugs, wires, dist cap, fuel filter and pump this weekend and got her running. Got a long way to go, but look forward to the restore.

Thanks for the great welcomes. Ive got to say, yall have some awesome looking trucks. It gets me pretty fired up about restoring mine. My daily driver is a 2012 Dodge Ram, which is a sweet ride, but there aint nothing like these dentsides! Theres just something about climbing in a truck and just the smell of the interior taking you back 30 years.
