Hello all. I have been looking around the site for a few weeks and finally got a pic of my new bump project. Little history on this vehicle before you see the pics, This was originally bought by an elderly man in the town I was orignally from and bought by my grandpa in 73 with 35k on it. It has been in the family ever since. The vehicle was used alot until 2002 when It was parked. In fact I was the last one driving the rig before it was parked because of a front cab mount issue made the clutch not opperate correctly. It now sets with 127k on it and my dad told me that not a thing had been done to it the whole time my grandpa owned it with exception to changing the oil and new tires once. even the shocks (or the lack there of) are original LOL.
well here it is now in my posession and all I had to pay was the time to clean it out which you will see was a little bit of a job haha. I plan on doing a full frame off restore on it starting next spring.

after clean out
Also I figured I would post a pic or two of my dads bump he has. It is a 68 f250 (f263 according to the vin plate) that now has a body from a 69 on it and he plans on a restore in the near future as well.

Thanks all. I cant wait to get started but most likely I will be waiting until spring when I will start by taking the body off and work on it first and then bring the frame up here after that and reunite it. Can't wait to learn lots from you all
Hey guys Figured I would post a pic here as well of my other restore I have done. Its a 1957 s100 international I got from a junk yard for 150 bucks. I had started it when I was 14 and didnt get it to this point till i was 20 but it had alot of body damage that I had to repair instead of replace because of a lack of parts out there. any ways here is the before.
May your sails stay full, and your knots not slip. Unless a slip knot.

from ILL. Looks like its still solid under all the stuff Don't throw things out before you check if anyone here needs something! I already see things I could use .....!
Thanks for the kind comments all. Oh trust me if I take anything off I will let you all know. I only plan on replacing what really has to be so it will stay as original as it was when I remember riding in it with my Grandpa. As for my dads bump.... It sounds like I will have two projects on my hands now because my dad says he is gonna pass it on to me..... so the good part is I will have a 4wd F250 for pulling things and running in the mud and a 2wd F100 for longer runs with no heavy loads.
