You have the original F series Ford truck. Now, what to do with it. Purest would tell you to restore it, because it is a first, but it also will be lots of work. Also, if you decide to rod it, lots more work. Just depends on what you want for a final outcome, how much money you have to invest, and just how long do you want to work on it. If done right, I could see a couple of years at least, before it sees the road.
