Hello all,
I wanted to introduce myself and perhaps show off a few pics (if I may).
I'm 32, live in Virginia (New River Valley area), and am a former US Marine.
The F100 was my first truck when I was 15 (before it was restored) that my father gave me. He paid $3000.00 at the time and it only had 37,000 miles on it at the time! It had a few scratches but was in great condition. The old man that owned it bought it new and only drove it to church and the store. Actually it still had the starting instructions on the visor. We rebuilt the engine when I was 16 (360), which has about 97,000 miles on it currently. Yes we drive this thing.. After high school I gave it back to my old man, and he restored it about 6 years ago after my grand mother backed into it. A few months ago he started talking about wanting to sell it for garage space, so I asked him the price and he basically gave it to me considering the money invested. So... sorry for the long post, looking forward to pick each others brains... I want to rebuild the C6, and rewire the whole truck since they have never been touched. Oh, I have a 1968 Camaro also but I'm sure you guys don't give a crap about the Chevys huh?
