Hi Folks,

Here's a YOUTUBE VIDEO I made of my 1990 F250. I recently sold the truck, but only made the video this past weekend. I did lots of work to the truck before I sold it, and captured many of the details in the video. I've also summarized down below:

That is a SHOCKINGLY well-built truck!!! Nice work! :Thumbs Up

I've gotta say: that seems like a lot of work to put into a truck to sell. How long did it take to build?
