Welcome to the board!!!
I'm glad you decided to jump in and participate. There are tons of great people here who are more than helpful. Don't ever feel bashful about asking a question. I for one especially love the simple questions as I stand a chance of answering those correctly

take care

Welcome to FTE. The folks hanging around this place have helped me immensely and you will get the same results. Since no one has mentioned it yet, we like pictures! And you can add your location to your profile so anyone near you may be able to lend a hand or help with needed parts (without shipping charges). Come back often...

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome. I did post a photo in the album thing. Not sure if I did it right. Not sure what the truck will become. I will just dismantle, clean, fix and paint and see what happens. Oh and I'm in Northeast Kentucky. Does that make my truck a hillbilly?

Hey Greg,
We don't let guys from Kentucky on here - wait til Doc hears about this..
Just kidding - we've got some very knowledgeable & friendly Kentucky members. Looks like a good start. I'm partial to the F1's as well - mine is a 1950. Welcome aboard!

LOL no! That makes YOU a hillbilly!
I am just kidding! Welcome to FTE! Looks like you got a nice truck to work with!
I have been in Kentucky a few times, and I love it. My kinda world, so does that make me Redneckwannabeahillbilly?

Hey Greg. I was wondering how long it would take you to join. Welcome. If you stick around here long enough, you'll realize there are hillbillies everywhere. Show the guys some more pictures. You've got a pretty solid truck there. Come on down and look at my toys sometime. I was up near you back in December when I bought the bed for my F-5 in Sardinia, OH. We crossed the river in Maysville.

EDIT: There are actually quite a few Kentuckians on this forum. Homade lives in Sparta which isn't very far I imagine.

Welcome, that's a pretty cool looking truck you got there. You'll get lots of helps here. Hey, I'm way up in the Rocky Mountains so I'm part hillbilly too.
