Starting the Christmas gift for dad

Just picked up a nice little utility body truck, going to give it to my father, a semi-retired diesel mechanic in need of something to do some work out of.

Neat little truck, no significant rust, 302 EFI, OD, posi, dual tanks. Got it for 800 and had to put a 200 dollar windhsield in it

Needs a little work to be ready
- Clean the interior, put back what seems to be EVERY screw missing inside and fix a leaky strobe light mount
- Needs front springs and shocks, one spring is broken, still holds the truck up, but I'll do it before we get it up there
- Radius arm bushings and repack the wheel bearings
- Add two leaves to the rear spring stack to get a little height back
- Clean, service, make sure the lights work, and general shake down before delivery.
- Replace and rekey some locks in the utility body

Its all little stuff, but the F-100 goes on the back burner until this one gets a bow on it and delivered 26 December :D
