Shop truck

Blue_Oval_Bulls
I am down to one vehicle (toy) now, my 1984 "Shop Truck". The truck is a F150 Sport Truck, 302, automatic , short bed, faux patina.
I call it that because I use it to advertise my wife's business which helps me take my car show trips off on taxes.
I plan on doing several upgrades this year, several which I've had laying around for a while. That's one of the reasons I sold off all the other projects. I'm going to just concentrate on one.
I intend to be a regular on the forum and post the past and current updates.
The truck really isn't anything special but I really enjoy driving it, I had it on the 2018 Power Tour for it's inaugural voyage, made for an interesting trip, lol.
My granddaughter's really like riding in it and going to car shows with me.
Just  a little introduction of my plans for 2022.

Congrats man, that's a satisfying move/decision. I have over the years had more than one project at a time, and I always end up being frustrated that I can never fully finish one if there's more than one.

It's nice to just focus on one thing and dig into it.

Sounds like a fun plan.  But show us some pics of your truck.  And did you get any pics on the 2018 Power Tour?

As for grandkids, mine like my truck as well.  Hope to take them on trips in the future.
