Future Mods:

Future plans are a flip chip to tune in my nitrous system and also have my eye on a few autometer guages.

What other Fords do you own or have owned?

My first car was a Ford. A 70 Mach 1 Mustang. Also had a 69 XR-7 and a 86 Bronco fixed up. Recently have owned Expeditions, Explorers and there are more than a couple of Windstars floating around the Family. Wife drives a customized 03 LTD Explorer.

Other Comments

Had been thinking about a truck for a couple of years before I bought this on. Was getting tired of fixing up garage bunnies that just took up space and wanted something I could work on with my youngest and drive all year. Picked up the truck brand new and started doing just do a few things to make it different. Well here it is seven years later. :) Not done yet and with the enjoyment I have had doing it and meeting alot of you don't think it will ever be.
