    I'm 59 years old. My first vehicle was a 1972 F100! I bought it when I was 15 from my farmer boss. I learned how to work on cars with that truck. I had cab mounts installed by a local welder and repainted by a local body guy. I fixed the floors myself and painted the rims. I loved that truck. It was red with a 302. It also was a three on the tree brought down to the floor. This truck brings back lots of memories!

    I understand sanding. Did a restoration/build on a 1947, 45’ wooden sailboat. We also use bondo and faring to make the boat look fiberglass. Didn’t want to have to recalk the seams every year. 6 coats sealer, 3 coats of barrier cover to keep the parasites out of the wood, 2 primer coats, and 2 finish coats. Sanding between each coat. Boat is going around the world.

    What's great about those 300s is that you won't care about the road gears because they make almost all the torque they can right off idle. This thing's gonna scoot anyway. I'm really happy for whoever ends up with this truck because it will be great for anything you'd want to do with it.

      I was thinking black rims with the stock dog dishes and a trim ring would break the truck up. Even with the rims in white. Those hubcaps are just not doing it for me. Yet to each their own. Great job VGG and good luck to everyone who entered.

Just a humble honest hard working Pick-em-up truck but something that your nation is so good at. Saving this and the many others that you all have as projects is doing your nation such pride.

      I'm a Ford guy too when it comes to the older trucks, but you can bet Derek will do one for the Chevy guys too. I will say I like the old '67 - '68 Chevy and GMC trucks, straight 6, three on the tree and the old pull out manual choke.
