History:
The Truck was bought from a Krown Rust proofing place and the guy had it for years. My dad paid around $4,000.00 Canadian 10 years ago. We used it mostly for moving because we had just moved. It was so ugly before. It was white with the cap on the box. Not super rusty but more than now that's for sure.
Everything inside was stock and needed some work. My dad used to let me drive it to school twice a week before I had my licence. The more I drove around in it the more I was starting to like it. The first mods that I did were kinda crappy but i enjoyed doing everything myself. The last mods though like you see in the pictures were made by a good friend of mine and he does that stuff for a living. I've had so many problems in the first years... Engine blown, Transmission blown, head gasket, carb clogged, gas line broke, brake line broke and the gas tank almost ripped out while driving. Windshield leaks, battery dead countless times, rad blew....etc...etc... but I never gave up hope. No matter what happened I would still fix it and enjoyed every second driving it. Now all that is different... Everything works great and I never get any problems... Thank God.
I always get people dancing on the sidewalks when I am coming through town. Also older people shake their heads when they hear the loud bass that shakes the whole car. I had to drive once without any windshield for an hour drive to the body shop. Had to drive to the garage with no brakes. I was going to a party when suddenly my truck died. We hitch hiked to the party and the next day came back and the truck started fine. I got stopped by the cops for no reason so many times its not even funny. Fell asleep at the wheel and woke up a foot away from a 20 foot ditch... It would have been a total wreck. Have been the life of a party a lot of times. This truck has helped me get with a lot of girls... hehe!...

View of the 83 Ford F-150 Front. According to the owner, the Billet Grille is new. He doesn't say if the rest of the Chrome on the Front of this Truck is new or not, however, even if it's not new, it is so well taken care of, that it surely looks as new as the Grille. Click on the Pic to enlarge.
