I went on the search for an old ford pickup when I was 14 years old and after buying, fixing, and totaling my first pickup. With the help of my father, we found this 1978 ford f150 400m 2wd in a small town about an hour away from our family farm. In 2010 we went down there and paid $400 for it and drove it home and immediately started tearing into it to make it my own. Over the years, the truck has gone through many phases and been sort of an automotive experiment for me to try different things and hone my skills. After 6 years, 4 motors, 2 transmissions, 2 boxes, and thousands of hours in 2016 it finally has gained the look I’d envisioned when I was 14. This truck has honestly taken on a persona that makes it more than just a vehicle, it is almost like another family member.
