Old Fart Ford Guy

Hi all,
Been a forum member for a while, never took the time to post (just did some browsing).
I live in the beautiful Pacific Northwest USA, and have been a devout Ford freak all my life (I'm now 54).

My current rides are:

1975 F250 4x4 Pacific Coast Highboy Longbox ("Old Brown")
- Have owned this truck for 32+ years
- Explorer Custom Pkg. Std Cab
- Built '66 390GT motor from one of my old '66 Fairlane GT quarter-milers
- Factory C6
- All original w/ 160K miles except for motor (2K miles)
- 35" BFG AT's.

1977 F100 Shortbox 4x2 ("Shorty")
- 1970 351W (awaiting rebuild, and hopefully single or twin turbo)
- Small Block C6
- Shorty Headers, intake, carb, etc.
- This is a project for a Crown Vic front suspension and 8.8 rear independent in tubs
- Dropped and 20's all around.

2004 F350 Longbox Crewcab Lariat 4x4 ("Stretch")
- 6.0L PS Diesel
- Pulls the 35' 5th-wheel.

2001 Explorer XLT AWD 4.0L (commuter car)

I look forward to getting a little more involved - thanks for the wealth of knowledge here!!
Once I figure out how, I'll post up pics in the garage.

Wow, what a nice fleet! Nothing warms my heart more than an older Ford truck really well taken care of and in nice shape. New is good for a driver but other wise these older ones do it for me.
It`s great you posted these pictures, I can`t help you with posting pictures in the gallery tho I will try to look into it.
Happy New year to you and all the best in 2013!

I noticed your sig line. I too have a very special spot in my heart for the pony cars. Have had several, including a beautiful 67 GTA big block fastback Stang, in my youth. My buddy in the Seattle area who bought it from me, restored, and recently sold it for mid-5 figures. Shoulda-coulda-woulda

That helps to understand my fetish with the older FE's.

I'll post up over at the WAFTE. Thanks again for the welcome!!
