Hey...new truck owner here

Just bought a '70 F100 Custom last Saturday. Paid $1,000 at the Salvation Army auto auction. 85k miles, minimal surface rust, 360, 3-speed, overall really good condition! New fuel pump, battery, and alternator. Runs really good! Need some cheap (preferably polished) rims and tires. Getting a dual exhaust hopefully tomorrow. Eventually going to drop it a few inches and convert to front disc brakes. Getting it painted either white or baby blue later on (best friend has a baby blue '74 F100 Custom with a longrod 240).

I'm in Jenks, just north on the high school. Hope to meet some of y'all sometime!

Hey there, welcome to the site and chapter.
Sounds like you got a very good deal on a good truck. I look forward to getting to know you.

Thanks......anyone know of a good place for exhaust? I've always gone to Leon's in Sapulpa. They want $150 for a couple short pipes and glasspacks

 

Welcome! I'm up in Owasso and I know that B&M does a good job, I just don't know how proud of it they are...

Sounds like you got yourself a pretty sweet deal. Hope to see some pictures of it in your gallery sometime.

Later,
Tim

Pics are horrible (from my phone). Just got an exhaust from Leon's went with 2.25" duals. Sounds great, but they ran the glasspacks out further than I wanted. Paid $140. Lots of popping when deccellerating...

 

Actually, those pics are quite remarkable being that they came from your phone. Although, I am going to have these pictures moved either to your gallery or have a link substituted for your pictures in order to save the dail-up users time and frustration. Just so you know incase you come back and all your pics are replaced.

Pretty good truck there! Looks like a really solid foundation for a project

 

Welcome aboard, Evan. Nice Truck. Great potential. Like Tim said, B&M Exhaust in Owasso. They have been great to me and I trust them. Their prices are very fair. They have done exhaust work for my last three vehicles. They even let me watch and give input as to how I wanted my work done.


Hey Tim, watcha drive around town in Owasso? I'll give ya a wave if I see ya runnin' around town. I'm driving the bright red '78 F150 with dark tinted windows and the tailgate down.

 

I'm pretty hard to miss when I'm in my truck:

Wow! Nice. Wouldn't be hard to see you in that! Surprised I haven't seen that around Owasso, yet. Will keep my eyes peeled.

(PS...might want to make the pics into links for the non-broadband impared)

 

Working on it now... Just had to get it started Tim, didn't you...

STan

 

OOPS! 20 demerits and 50 lashes for me! I should have know better than to do that!

Next time, I'll use a link ( If you don't tick me off ! )

I'll try to figure out a punishment for myself!

 

Okay, Am I gonna have to seprate you guys? Nice trucks and welcome to the site. My pictures will be here someday. Kidding Stan. I forgot to send a picture of the Ranger with you. Make sure I get your address and I'll send it to you to add on. I really appreciate you doing that for me.
