Wassup?? So. Cal here!

Alright, here we go. My name is Fernie and I am 50 years old and have lived here in So. Cal. (Pasadena area) all my life. I just picked up a 1970 F-250 Camper Special w/390ci and auto trans. My neighbor of 40+ years just passed away 2 months ago. Her family was here to settle her estate and they put her truck up for sale. I payed $850.00 for it and it is in excelent condition. It runs unbelievely well. The body is absoloutly straight. The motor has 126,000 miles and purrs like it is brand new. It doesn't leak or burn oil. The tires are 10 years old but only have 12,000 miles on them. My neighbor (Vesta was her name) was the original owner. She has every single repair invoice for the truck as well as the original bill of sale. You see, Vesta was 40 years old when she bought this truck and being single, as long as I knew her, had the local Ford dealers maintain the truck. It also has a 2 year old paint job (Earl Schibe). The only negative is the color. It's is a desert brown (it's kind of like the tan on military Hummers. All I have done is wash and wax this truck and it sparkles. Unfortunatly it has rained for the last couple of days so it is dirty. I will give her a bath this week and post pics next weekend.

I am also a blues musician and rely on forums for accurate info. The few forums I am a member of have very knowledgable people and when I found this forum I instantly knew this would be the best truck forum out there.

Thanks.
Fernando
