Who are the real Ford guys
#46
Attn Schuyles! Rouge refers to the Rouge River facility in Detroit, LBAP is the Long Beach Assembly Plant (Calif) where Ford cars and trucks were built. My current 56 was originally built there. Thanks again for all the replies, I am building an incredible mountain of information which should make for some very interesting profiles. KEEP 'EM COMING!!!!
Wondering if you were going to give us the answers or not? Good info to know. Thanks

Late to the party, but I currently have 8 Ford trucks, and am looking at a 9th for purchase (1940 1.5 ton). I also have had about 10 others that I no longer own. I still have my first; a 1978 F150 4x4. 44 years old, and out of my extended family, I think I'm the only Ford guy, AKA black sheep, lol.

Real Ford Guy
It's been a while since I have been on this forum.
Almost 62 (July is my birth month) I retired in Sep. of 2013 and got my old truck running pretty good. I have been driving it and get the thumbs up wherever I go.
I have always loved the 1956 F100 since I was a little boy and the neighbor had one. I have always thought the 1956 was the prettiest truck Ford ever made.
List of my trucks:
1956 F100 Custom Cab
1966 F250 Custom Cab
1956 F100 Custom Cab
2015 F150 Platinum

It's been a while also since I have been on this forum. I am 52 and actually never was a Ford fan. But I was always a fan of the 50's F100 trucks. When I bought my 53 back in 2002 in a complete mess I soon became a fan and even traveled to the US for the Western Nationals and hopefully won day attend the F100 supernationals.

I am in my 60's. I grew up in a "Ford" home, Dad had a 1950 Ford, then a 1955 Ford, then a 1960 Ford. My first car was a 1959 Ranchero and then a 1962 Fairlane, then 2 more 1962 Fairlanes, and then I graduated college and went to work for Ford, and I built a 1949 F-1 with a Y-block. I worked for Ford for 32 years. I have had a ton of Ford cars and trucks over the years. I still own a 1949 F-1 (not the same one), and a 1956 F100, and a 2001 Lightning, and several Mustangs.
I appreciate all cars and trucks, but I bleed Blue.
