Build story

1971 Ford F-100 Explorer farm fresh from where it set since 1994, had the glass, chrome, lights busted out by the farmers grandson who hated the truck the grandson also put mud in the engine, gas tank, and original radiator. When I bought the truck it had a new ignition system put in but I decided to send it and drive it on the interstate home with no glass or anything working only to make it 40 miles until blowing the original rad. So I sent it further and drove 20 more miles with no rad in it but ended up having to tow it back to my place I had to evict the racoon living in the dash, finish busting the old glass out and begin the repairs. I used a parts 79 I had for the front disk break spindle conversions on the old ford twin I beam suspension and the front windshield out of it for glass, then tracked down a parts 67 for the rest of the glass, semi redid my interior with carpet and a old blanket I "expertly cataloged" in a closet with some pure "100%" working small engines gauges. Then did what anyone would do with a truck that needs a engine rebuilt, clutch, and trans I used it to haul my car around for a bit until I decided to lower the rear by putting a bunch of cinder blocks in it and heating the leafs to bend and mold to the ride height I wanted. Not to mention the $40 dollar jeep halos off of ebay for this smoker truck and made some "duals" out of some pipes I found at the junkyard. Still building on it every time I find something for it or it decided to let itself loss some stuff like the battery with "Weight reduction".
