[jabari]

Me and my father decided to restore this pick-up. We bought it winter of 2006 and have been working on it since then. A 1950 Ford F1 1/2 ton pick-up. Me and him have done most of the work on it. All my other 3 brothers did was help get the cab on and off and sand down and paint the chassis.
