New Guy From the Detroit Area

Hey, everyone!

Jason here. Live in the western Detroit suburbs, work for that company in Dearborn with the Blue Oval logo. Turning 50 this year, wife (29 years together) and two boys in their 20s, both in college.

We have a 93 F-150 2wd I picked up during c-19 for $150. It drove 25 miles home after sitting for 12 years, needed rear spring shackles and springs, which I did the next summer. I've been using it as a backup vehicle since then.
Been a longtime lurker on RDC, and saw a post about this forum and signed up. Eventually, I'd like to build a trail/dunes truck out of the 93 and bring back some of the fun I had offroading when I was at Ferris State in the 1990s. We were always out on two tracks or at the power lines if we weren't in class.

Thanks for the forum, I'll most likely lurk more than post as I learn.

v/r,
jason

Man, what a steal on that! Not much rust, too.

For a Michigan truck, definitely. The cab and doors are rock solid, but the bedsides are rough around the wheel wells, as are the fenders. But for the price, I'm not complaining. Especially since it is a 302.
