Possible new owner

[chain1]

Hello all,
First post here. I'm in the process of possibly switching directions and trading in my current car for a 1967 F100. I have only ever really owned new cars (other than a few beaters along the way) but I realize that I'm only driving them around 1k miles a year which got me thinking that I might be better off with something fun since I don't need all the conveniences of a modern car. I've always wanted a classic truck and I'm looking at a 67 F100 that has been completely restored. It is not original by any means but looks brand new inside and out and is more of a "restomod". It isn't cheap but it doesn't "appear" that it needs anything and looks brand new even underneath. I guess I'm wondering if there are any problem areas I need to look at as far as how it runs and drives, potential rust, etc. Also, how challenging is it to own one of these as far as maintenance and mechanical issues. I generally would only be driving it around town and maybe a few miles on the highway here and there.
Anyway, sorry for the long post. I appreciate any insight.

Well I can say I've enjoyed my 67 for 15 years for all the reasons you mention. Around town, on the highway (right lane), easy for me to work on myself and it's fun!

One thing to check is the kingpins on the front. You want the suspension to be tight.
Also A good steering gear.
I like the Inline six motor it gets better gas mileage as opposed to the 352 V8.
Automatic or standard is a preference thing. I've come to favor the automatic.

Get it and enjoy the ride. A good hobby is worth something, "in this day and age".
