very nice. I bet it is rust free too. When I was out in New Mexico earlier this year I was amazed at all the old cars sitting around on blocks in back yards. NO rust on them.....

excellent place to buy a vehicle for sure.

Thanks Bill
We are in AZ for the winter and the 85 looked
excited to see us (haven't told him about the whip clip yet)
started and ran a few cars and are charging batteries as i type
this!
Jim Yes
Noooooo Rust here! I had sent to FoMoCo for the
report on this truck! I know it was sold in AZ and i was
curious to see what dealer sold it! I worked for a Ford
dealer (now long gone) as a parts man in the early 80's
but they had no record of what dealer it went to?
here is another before and after Look how burnt the paint
was on the before!! I thought i was gonna have to re paint!:)

I'm glad you took the bug deflector off. The after pics look real good!

You said that you sent off a letter to FoMoCo to find info on the truck. Could I do the same for my SSP? To whom do I send it to? Address? Thanks.

a few more.
I know how we think of SAVING SSP Mustangs
I think this truck has had a second chance also
it will see lite duty (car show) stuff and an occasional
trip to town. Thanks for the kind words.
last pict. is what it looked like when i bought it
Headache rack tool box n all.

Really cool how some trucks look sooooo much better when all the goo gahs and tack ons are taken off and the truck is returned to its simple factory state. Truck looks awesome. Great work Andy.
