I added a 4inch skyjacker suspension lift, with Mickey Thompson tires and rims . This truck has new 3 inch Flowmaster exhaust which has given it a great sound! I replaced all the Brake lines with new stainless steel lines . The steering has been upgraded to electric power steering which makes it even more enjoyable to drive . We installed a new custom radio and all new pioneer speakers which sounds really good! This truck has all brand new wiring from front to back . To many new parts to mention .

@gabemartin62 : My future plans with this truck is to keep it and enjoy it on nice days with my wife and kids . I have always loved these old ford trucks !

@BodyByHighboy : We love truck stories! Do you have anything else to share?

@gabemartin62 : This truck was purchased from Somerset California back in 2017. I had purchased this over the phone , and was extremely nervous about the actual condition of the truck . However the guy who sold me the truck was very honest . I then had it shipped over 3,000 miles . I remember the excitement my kids and I had as the shipper was backing into my driveway with my truck . I was looking for this particular truck that had minimal rust and wanted to restore it and make it my own. After having this truck restored it turned out to be more beautiful then I ever imagined .
