I have been a long-time lurker and a fairly recent owner of a 1972 Ford F-350 12' Stake Bed. The truck has a whopping 42,000 original miles on it but has spent the last 5 years sitting in a field. I purchased the truck last fall ($500 well spent!) and spent the fall, winter and first part of the spring working on it in the field to where it could be moved the 8 miles to my workshop. That trip happened three weeks ago and now the teardown/rebuild begins.
This site has been my go-to resource while researching the old guy and I wanted to join to first say "Thank you" and second to pay it forward with any help I can give anyone else.
In the spirit of "Pictures or it didn't happen", here it is the day I got it home:
