1996 Ford F150-James S.

Bought my truck the summer of 2014 as a daily driver due to me having a “stance scene” Volkswagen on air ride. I ended up selling the Volkswagen because I liked the truck so much. It’s a straight 6 5-speed. So it’s pretty much like driving a tractor on the road. It wasn’t exactly a trust bucket when I got it but I knew it was coming. The first winter I had it, the body got demolished. Quarters were gone up to the body lines, fenders were near gone. Giant hole in the bottom of the passenger door, corners were completely gone, tail gate was better off, off haha. And the rear bumper had its fair share of rust. So summer of 2015 I decided to start up on the bodywork. Replaced both fenders, replaced the driver’s door, repaired the corners, passenger door, and quarters with the panel kits. Bought a tailgate that was half sanded off a friend at work and a brand new Westin rear bumper. Did all the body work in my front yard. And had it painted by my friends dad at a small shop down the road. I had it painted “caribou” which is actually a 2015 Ford F-150 color. I left the tailgate unfinished and cleared over, almost like patina. Did exhaust and intake manifold gaskets, head gasket, valve cover gasket on it after wards. Also replaced the secondary air injection rail and valve. And here she is!
