OK, one more car, well this time a truck
Toy for my collection. I always liked these trucks, and it was a deal I could not pass up. It's a numbers matching original color 1954 F-100

re: OK, one more car, well this time a truck
Damn FP You just bought my favorite truck. Well actually the 1956 model is, but I wouldn't turn down a 53/54/ or 55 either.
My Nephew was restoring a real nice dark blue 53 like yours for himself, when he had to put it into storage in a friends storage building after getting a job out of state .
Well some how the truck just wound up missing, and the guy never returns any of my Nephew's phone calls.
I sure do hope I get an invite to the FP Museum the next time I'm in Chi Town.

re: OK, one more car, well this time a truck
I decided to polish my truck today. The paint is in very good shape for a 25+ year paint job, but looked a bit hazy. I first clay bar'd the whole truck, then I used a compound with my PC orbital polisher, followed by a polish, and a wax. I compounded, polished and waxed only the cab. I'm beat. I'll do the bed next Saturday. I have to say the paint responded very well, and looks awesome.
