Hey guys, help me welcome our newest memeber, MTeichmeier, to the Nebraska chapter!!

 

Welcome to the club

 

Hi everyone,

I'm happy to be a part of FTE and a new chapter member.

I'm Mike from Ravenna, going to school at SDSMT and trying to become an
engineer but we'll see how that goes, and really just one of the average farm
boys that like to build what they drive.

Right now I've more projects than i can handle but can't seam to stop "saving" the classics. Anyway here are a few:

1979 F-150 Super cab - 460, C6, highboy axles, NP205, 42in Swampers -
This ended up being a DD somehow last summer, but have a complete rebuild planned when I finish some other projects. Going to go D60s, 513 stroker, divorced 205, and new body


1976 Highboy getting a DT360 International
Build Thread: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...t360-swap.html

Then for the one on the back burner
67 f-100 2x4 looking to do a CV swap
65 f-100 2x4 460 classic tuff truck

48 ****** pickup being built using the leftover axles and drivetrain

So I'm happy to be a member and feel free to ask questions I'll do my best to answer.

Thanks Mike.

 

Mike, welcome aboard! I think you need more to do, man!!LOL Nice trucks! I'm in the midst of a 67 resto-mod myself.

 

Yep I took a look at your 67 and dang its coming along nice. Wish mine was that clean, but I'm always getting told to sell my projects and buy a new truck Where's the fun in that haha

 

No kidding! The wife has tried to get me to get rid of it. I think she's finally given up that battle! What's your plan with that 65? Looks like a former drag truck.

 

Well first thing is actually getting it home lol Its been sitting up by Rapid City where i go to school for a couple years now, but probably go with a 70s baja truck build/resto. I bet once i get it tore down i'll get carried away and end up doing an full blown pre-runner or something i can't use haha.

 

Well, no sense being practical. Where's the fun in that!! Got any pics of the 67?

 

Nice looking rig. Do you get back to Ravenna alot? I got a buddy out there who does alot of wheeling and a few times a year we use a friends farm in juniata to play with the trucks.

 

Where is Ravenna, anyway?

 

about 20 miles north east of Kearney

 

Oh, okay. I need to try and get back out to Kearney for Cruise Nite next year.

 

It's 30 miles north of Kearney right off highway 2, and yep I live there during the summer and run the redi-mix company with my dad. So until i get a job somewhere i'm either there or at school.

Here is the 67. I pulled out of the weeds behind my grandparent's farm it is actually pretty straight and rust free.

 

well i guess 30 from GI and 20 something from kearney

 

Pat we will have to do a group thing this year. I do kearney cruise every year.

My buddy in ravenna has the H1 on 43s and has a cummins in it, also has a mega cab cummins on 37s.
