Hello from Everett, WA! This forum/site is amazing! Hope to get a lot out of it. A few months ago, I bought a 72 F-100 w/ a 390 in it(so i was told), 4spd transmission, rusted out bed/doors/panels/etc....., runs like a top, for $750. I love it. It was gonna be our dump/homedepot/lowes/beater truck, but now the wife has given permission and approved the funding

for a little bit of fixin'/rust prevention. She really wants to see it light blue again! I have no idea where to start, but my brother-in-law is a master auto body tech w/ a welder(that he knows how to use). Anyhow, thanks for a great site, and, seeing as how you guys like pics, here ya go:

drivers side

drivers side door

passenger side

passenger side door

engine

and the bed

another bed shot that hides the problem

Enjoy the pics and comments are very welcome!

Welcome from Texas Chris, Looks like you have the battle half won with the wife approving the funding and the brother in law in the body shop business. Good luck and keep us posted
