New guy Portland

I couldn't find the new member thread so i figured i would post here
Many thanks to fabmandelux for the invite

My name is Bryan and i like short walks on long piers

Grew up in a Chevy family. Nothing but Chevy's and Buicks. My Uncle had a 1977 F series truck but we loved him anyway.

Fast forward 25 years and i find myself the proud owner of a 1971 F250.
390/auto trans
257,000 miles on the body

Plans are to do a mild resto on it to make it a bit more livable.




Swiss Cheese door


Bed passenger side near the cab


This is the worst of the exterior rust and it's in a bad spot below the chrome and above the windshield


Drivers side floor







No major issues to tackle. I'm sure it will be fun. Can't wait to chat and get idea's from everyone.

If ya can give me a few weeks notice when the GTG will happen i can request that day off. I really appreciate the floor pan.
