introduction/showing the truck

I've never actually formally introduced my self or my truck.
I'm Johnny if you couldnt tell from southern california in the south bay area.
I've been the owner of this f150 since about january 14th.
Its 2wd, has 179k on the engine 40k on the tranny, 97 flare side.
4.6l engine.

Heres the picture, some of which show things that need to be fixed up too.



I need to hammer the bumper brackets back into place





I want to get a new one of these that isnt grey.
like a glossy plastic one



Got to order this new part of the dash right above the guages.

exterior doesnt look bad and the interior looks good for having that many miles. welcome to the madness. do you have any plans after the dash and bumper?

you should go find a used dash and then get a 99-03 bumper and grille instead of trying to fix your brackets. theyre thick

X2!! Plus it looks like that bumper is either bent or warped a little anyways.
