i just got this truck the other day, it was my uncles but he passed away about a month ago, and i worked out something with my aunt so that i have to do her yardwork all summer and i get the truck. :yahoo:

its an 88 F-150 XL with the straight 6 and a 5 speed, its rusty as hell and as it was my uncles i lovingly refer to it as Uncle Rusty...

when i got it, it was all grampa-d out, it had a huge cap on it that was taller than the cab, a bunch of trim on the side that wasnt supposed to be there, mudflaps on all 4 corners and lots of rigged up stuff. i pretty much tore it down the first day i got it and heres where im at now...

i wanna keep it mostly stock, replace the rear bedsides, the shackles are rusted out so im gonna get some 2" drop shackles to level it out. theres only 150,000 on it too.
