Hi My name is Peter, i live in Sydney Australia.
My friend & I run an Australian V8 forum www.v8owners.com.au (mods please delete the link if i have broken a rule)

I drive and drag race Aussie GM's (Holdens) Last week we bought a 74 F350 with a Cleveland 351 in it to transport our forum project car.

Here are some shots of the F350 with my daily driver on the back.




And a shot of our project car.



I joined this forum today because i am a newbie to all things Ford. I am hoping to learn about our F truck from all the info on this forum.

Looks like i have lots of reading to do.

Great site by the way

 

Welcome to the site Peter!!!

Some nice cars there (even if they are Holdens ). What series the one on the back of the F-350?
Its a great looking F-350 too.

Anyway - welcome to the light side

 

Hi all, Martin here. Live in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. Always wanted an 'EFFIE' since I was a kid and now that I have one I can't get the damn thing to run right ! LOL. Anyway, Just to say hello.
Driving an F150 '89 with a 92 (?) 302W roller cam, 5 spd manual. Am about to spend serious money on it as it's a work vehicle.
Cheers

Hi everybody. Another member from Sweden. I live outside Borensberg which is close to Linkoping. My truck is a ´66 Ford F-100 which I bought on my recent trip to the US. Happy to see there are more people from Sweden on this board. Maybe I see you at Power Meet upcoming summer. / Hans

 

Hej Hans, and welcome to the group! I just looked at your gallery, that's a clean old truck you have. That body style is often referred to as a "slick".

How much did you have to pay for shipping to Sweden?

 

i wish i was in sweden now! always go there, have a friend that lives in stockholm and another that lives in gavle, but from hudiksvall, wonderful place.

 

I'm going back, it's on the top of my "To do" list. Such friendly people, such beautiful, curvacious...well, you get my drift!

 

Well, shipping from California to Sweden was about $1500. A little more expensive for being a truck. Then we have tax and some other things to being around another $1500. So I guess its not too bad.
If anyone of you guys decide to come over, send me a note and I can show you around. We have several big car meetings here of which Power Meet (early july) and Classic Car Week (week 31) are the best. There could be around 6-7000 cars at each meet, which are only older American cars and some old europeans too. / Hans

 

As the others said - WELCOME!!!

You have some cool cars in your signature too

 

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA, just joined international chapter, great to see there are truck nuts all over the world.

 

gday to all the people international!!!! im stonie from adelaide in oz, in full rebuild mode of my 71 f100 im a spraypainter running my own crash shop and custom paint, the effie was only meant to be a work car until it got stripped down and sandblasted for a full rebuild LOL thats what happened to the last car aswell and its still in the process 18 months later.

 

G'day all,
My name is Rob. I drive a 78 F-250. Pretty stock.
Hope to pick up my 1952 F-100 soon. That should keep me busy for a while.
Cheers, Diffo

 

Hi Rob, Welcome to FTE! Nice to see another member from Down Under.

Please take a moment to check out our Guidelines, they contain important info that you'll need when posting on the site:

https://www.ford-trucks.com/guidelines.html

Be sure to check out our forums that relate to your specific truck(s)!

So, what plans do you have for that '52? ( A '52 is actually known as an F1, the F100 name came into use the following year.)

I'm going to be picking up a pair of '50 F1s pretty soon, maybe I can make a decent on out of the two.

 

Currently I live in St. Cloud, MN but will be moving to Hankinson, ND soon. I recently bought a '94 F150. I'll get some pics on my gallery soon.

 

Thanks TigerDan,
Was thinking to go with the chopped & dropped look with the '52. See what happens. I'm in sunny Afghanistan at the moment. Bought the '52 sight unseen (photos looked alright). Hope its not a basket case.
Should be back in Aus on 13th July.
Between re-doing my house, brewing beer & the F1 it should keep me busy for a while.
Pair of '50's sounds nice.
Cheers, Diffo
