Thanks for your Forum… I appreciate the work and support that it provides…
I am a proud owner a 1 Owner F-150 survivor… The original owner took great care of the truck and it has over 200k on the odometer… The owner lives 5 miles down the road… So any questions are easily answered…  I am looking at the engine upgrade and thinking about adding putting an AOD in at the same time so I can not get run off the interstate here in GA…. Or kill my motor running 3200rpm  I got lucky… she’s pretty clean and not buggered up…

Welcome!
 Always nice to see a clean title with an old truck like this. It certainly does look well cared for! Must have been a point of pride for the previous owner.

She’s far from perfect
Just an intact survivor… Was originally red and gray…. In need of another respray… its chipping… But the only real mod is pretty handy  The last 2 years, I’ve done new brakes and rotors, new door seals and felts… water pump, and most recently replaced a freeze plug that had decayed and had a pinhole… jbl speakers and an alpine head unit in the mail… Just added a Roll up tonneau cover… I struggle with the direction to take her… |

I don't look too closely at my truck.
 Just treat it to timely maintenance and occasional system overhauls. As I get older and no longer have a garage or shop it's become a challenge to keep up. Behind the seat storage is really handy! (Gary's is outfitted like mission control! 😅) Unfortunately my last stereo 'upgrade' has a speaker box occupying that space, along with an amp on the floor under the seat. Be careful with that extinguisher. The powder inside gets compacted over time from vibration. There was a discussion about this, and not having it work when you need it most. So, what do you wish your truck was more capable of? Or what would you change just for kicks?
