The Mississippi chapter of Ford Truck Enthusiasts is proud to announce that we will once again have a presence at the 2014 “Cruising The Coast”.

Cruisin' The Coast

We would like to invite all our FTE brothers & sisters to come on down to the Mississippi Gulf Coast. We’d also like to encourage attendees to stop by our location during the week and introduce yourselves, visit with us, watch the near constant parade of specialty vehicles and allow us to demonstrate why our state is known as “The Hospitality State”.

The Mississippi chapter is again scheduled to be located on the on the corner of Beach Blvd (US-90) & Benachi Ave. This location is right next to the Biloxi Welcome Center which has the iconic Biloxi Lighthouse in front of it and approximately 120 yards west of the westbound exit of I-110 onto Hwy-90. We'll have a large lot of packed sand covered in grass along with a bunch of trees. Bring your chairs, pop-ups & awnings. The view is magnificent.

This is the Chapter’s third foray into being on the scene of CTC & my second. Last year was a blast & unfortunately we seemed to miss some folks who stopped by the few times we left the site.

This participation would not be possible with out the help of local FTE member gatormccluskey (Steve). He has gotten us this prime location once again & promises to make sure we have cover, portapot, grill & libations.

It’s unfortunate that I am this late in the year promoting this, but we have high hopes that this will become a steadily growing yearly event and a chance to attract more Ford truck owners of all types to the fellowship that FTE provides.

Please speak up and let us know if you’ll be attending so that we can anticipate meeting new & old friends we’ve only known up till now on the other side of a computer screen. Also if you or someone you know has to leave their Ford truck at home and is driving a hot rod, muscle car, other non-Ford truck or any other type of specialty vehicle for that matter, please feel free to come park with us & visit. Your presence is the important thing.

Please check back here often, as we hope to have more information and more things to share as the dates approach. In the mean time, have a look at CTC as covered by noted car guy, Dennis Gage:

Here it is a few weeks before the 2015 event. Do you have any plans?

 

Absolutely. We'll be right there in the same place. Food, libations & friendly Ford truck fellowship. All are welcome to stop & visit a spell.

 

Will there be much going on with the CTC on Sunday?

 

On the last day everything shuts down pretty quick after a whole week & everybody splits in short order.

 

Where will be the best place to find used ford parts during this cruise? Is it at the Coliseum or are there other things set up? Specifically looking for an intake for a 4.9!!

 

I've yet to make the high traffic venues, so I can't say. I know there are some swap areas there, but I would just "guess" that most stuff would be classics & hot rod stuff. Are you talking something as mundane as an EFI intake? We might be able to set you up with one of those by then.

 

Well, specifically, I'm looking for an offy 6019DP, but might settle for a c-series...
