Beasty

After being in the workforce for 10 + years, I went back school and drove around an old Pathfinder until it got eaten up by rust this past August. A friend of mine called me and said he had sometime that has been sitting in his backyard for over 7 years and it had a few issues, but nothing that time and little elbow grease would fix and make it a good reliable truck again. It was a 1987 Ford F-150 2WD with a 302 and a 4-speed manual transmission. It definitely looked like something that had been sitting for a very long time, but I fell in love with it immediately and saw huge potential! I’ve always liked older vehicles because they have so much character and you actually do a lot of the driving instead of a computer. He sold it to me for a very good price and we proceeded to work on it. It has brought out quite a few drops of sweat and tears, but when I get behind the wheel, I regret nothing! It still has a long ways to go and as college student my budget is very limited, but doing the work myself has saved a few bucks. My dream is to one day restore it fully and maybe make a few modifications. I believe these are rolling pieces of history that will make a bigger statement on a road as the years go by. It it always make we chuckle to know my truck is a year older than me.
