1975 F250 Camper Special
My new project, my first project, right after buying it.
I'll update the photo in a month when I get home, but for now it has not much more than a thorough bath and new wheels. It's an original 390 FE that runs great after a tuneup, and will be starting the engine overhaul here in a few days. I mostly bought this one for the sweet factory toolbox, to be honest, and for the few peanuts the last owner wanted for it. It had sat uncovered for the better part of a decade, and was just a little too ugly to be gracing a Bellevue driveway. It took surprisingly little to make this truck a daily driver. A few brake and steering lines, plugs, points, and fluid service.
I'm still furiously reading forum posts and watching YouTube videos before dropping a newbie post about what direction to go with the 390, but a daily driver (for what little time I'm home) with sickening amounts of get up and go is the general plan. It seems I stumbled on a great block to pull out mad torque from. Good times!

New to Me SuperDuty Daily Driver
Just Picked up my new 2002 F250. its a 5.4, ZF6, 3.73LS Single Cab Long Bed XLT truck with cruise and AC but no CD player. I only payed 2650, and it has only 90,000 miles and not too bad of rust for a wisconsin truck. I will be driving this every day as the full resto begins on my 1994 F150. I love it and i love having the ability to tow my truck and not even notice it back there

As a kid growing up in FL I used to point and giggle at all the "snow birds" that would flock south to my old backyard in their big Buicks & Caddy's that most could barely see over the steering wheel. Now, for the 1st time, I guess I understand their desire for their annual migration south for the winter. So, I guess I'm gonna be a "snow bird". Could be worse I guess. Now....where did I put my shades and all that Coppertone?!?!
