Conserve or restore? We say conserve but please let us buy some seat covers! This is the 1st of 2 old work horses. It seemed appropriate for us to feature some old affordable trucks now that Spring is in the air. Where we are in Northwest Connecticut, people are crazy for these things. We didn’t pick just any truck we picked an original C10 that we think will clean up real nice. It has been in storage for sometime and it still wears bias-ply tires. And it hails from Montana so if you feel like putting your boots on and donning your Stetson, this will be the perfect accessory. 
Conserve or restore? In this case we vote conserve. Not because this is an important collectible, but because it is cool to drive an old truck. The Ford F100 has been at or near the top of the Best Selling list in the USA for like 34 years. And it started with pick-up trucks like this one. It’s just an honest workhorse. The driving lights are a nice touch and will probably be handy out on the range. Check out this honest old truck
