My father-in-law bought this 1969 F-100 new in November of 1968.
My wife and her brother learned to drive on this truck with no power
steering or power brakes.
The
truck was used as a work truck for 20 years in my father-in-law painting
business.
About 8 years ago, he began restoring it, but was
hospitalized and subsequently passed away before completing the
process.
The truck sat garaged for over 6 years - rarely driven with no further
restoration.
Finally,
in May of '03, my mother-in-law agreed to part with it. I hauled it 8
hours in torrential rain on a U-Haul trailer through the mountains of NC
and TN to its new home. Several thousand dollars and a couple hundred
man hours later, it's almost done.
