Restoring a 79 f100

[Lomax]

Back in December Me and my dad found a 79 f100. He wanted the truck really bad so we went back and I gave the 200 dollars and a shot gun for it. After we got it home, installed a battery and added a little gas, it fired on up. We decided it would be a great truck for a Restoration. Basically a stock build up with some minor touches. There is a ton of pics for me to upload so I will be posting them as I get time. Here are a few of the truck when purchased and teardown

Very nice.

My son and I installed a new engine in my 79 F100 when he was 17. I let him drive it around through HS, he's now 30.
Funny my original color is the same blue as yours and it came with the same seat cover when I bought it back in 99. The bed was completely rusted out and we swapped it with a brown one we found off a truck in the local salvage yard. We were lucky because it also had dual tanks.

Here's some photos;
