My First Truck!

I am happy to be here to get advice with my first truck. I just got a 1981 Ford F100 that was sitting for 12 years. I hope to get it running soon.

This is where I found it. Sunk into the ground.

Welcome, Jonathan! Glad you joined.

That truck has a lot of patina. What are your plans for it?

Where's home? I ask because we have a map (Bullnose Forum/Member's Map in the menu) and we can add you if we have a city/state or zip.

Hey, cool. From your photo, that is the original paint on mine as well. Someone before me painted it all a solid blue, but door jambs indicate the original scheme was same as yours. Be sure to post up as you go.

Do you know why it isn't running now?
Just a bad battery and dirty carb???
