First Ford truck

I have been a chevy guy most of my life but I Recently came across an 2002 F-150 xlt supercrew for $1,400 so I decided to try ford out. Engine and trans seem good only problems is the truck does have a good amount of rust. But so far I like the truck and hopefully will be doing work to it soon. Only things I have done so far are new radio, door speakers amp and a sub. Gota have my music lol

Thanks for the welcome, just wanted to ask a quick question. I already leveled my truck out and I was wanting to know if you thought 33x12.5R15 would fit?

Whew! That looks like a smokin' deal for $1,400, even with rust. A POS truck costs that much, so great snag! Welcome too!

Thanks man, Yea I thought it was a great deal so I couldn't pass it up. What would be the best section to post about getting replacement parts? Mainly to fix rust rocker panels and stuff like that?
