First Post and pic of my 57

Hi Group

This is my first post here. I am sure that I will have more
questions for the site that they want.
The pic below is me and my 57 that I picked up in Souther
Cal on Jan 2 2008.
Thanks Bob

Welcome aboard, Bob!! You are among friends!

Lookit that green grass! How disgusting!! I'm so sick of snow.......

Looks like a great project (even if it WAS towed with a Ch**y!!) - look how straight that bumper is!! I got a thing for bumpers...

Ask away, I'm sure you'll get answers to most, if not all, your questions.

Welcome aboard Bob. I'm also somewhat new to the FTE site. Long time looker. Looks like a nice truck you got there.

Hi Bememe
I see the word Fridge you used. Is that some kind of
nickname for the 57 F-100?
It is square as a ice box
Take care

The 57-60's are affectionately called Fridges or Refrigerators because they are much more "boxy" that the previous years.
