Interesting to see so many younger folks with F series pickups......I cannot find the article written by the Early Ford V8 Club, but they cited their average age to be in the Mid-70s which denotes fewer younger folks entering the hobby. Sounds like our F-Series love affair will be kept alive for a long time to come!!!

 

I think the early v8 club's numbers are not a good indicator of youngster's involvement in the hobby. Today's youth join a club like his one right here. FTE. Don't need any 'meetings' and certainly no paper newsletters or magazines. I was a member of Branch 26, Early Day Tractor and Machinery Association for many years. We met at the old grange hall in Alger Wa. Each meeting began with the Pledge of Allegiance and then went to the secretary reading the minutes of last month's meeting. Potluck at noon. Fire up our latest finds in the parking lot after lunch. Now that was a real club. I'm glad I had that experience, but this is much easier to get to from an island, and I don't have to wait a month to pick someone's brain on how to fix stuff!

 

Check your VIN, you may both be the same age!

Nice little thread that got dug up from the graveyard!

Im 35 this year with a 49 F1
My better half is 28, and she owns a 55 IH R120 (guess who has to work on that one )

 

I'm 70 and have a 54 and a 56. The 54 is a worker and the 56 is for fun. Both sport red primer and rust paint jobs.

 

I'm 61 and my truck is a 56 F-100

 

I'm 48 with a 49 F1, 50 Chevy Fleetline and a 50 Fargo 1/2 ton. And none of them run yet....

 

Is that your coe in the back ground? And if not do you know who owns it?

 

me: 46 Truck: 1956 although when I started it I was a lot younger... I know many here will know how that feels.

 

29 with a '56 and a '65 that I got from my Grandaddy on my 16th birthday.

 

41 with a 53 f100

 

40 with 49-F1, 50-f1, 66 Bronco.....

 

I posted before, but wasn't real clear. I traded my '50 F6 dumptruck for a '47 Ford tudor sedan. I then got my Uncle's '49 F6 158" home finally, and the '48 F1 is still on the frame rotisserie waiting to get blasted and painted (buried in a snowbank 'til June). The parts F1 might get traded to irondragon for his telephone bed. I've got other projects in waiting, but figured I got nothing but time, at 43.

Oh, and now I'm looking at a '48-50 panel truck, pretty rough, but we'll see.
