Hello Mike. Welcome. To the chapter and South Dakota.

Hey all. My name is Dan. I reside in Dell Rapids. I hit join this chapter but all that happened is a blank page came up how do I tell if Im in?
Origanally from a town just north of Dells and resided in Madison for a few years while I worked at Gehl and Salem tractor parts.
At the end of June, the city of Dell Rapids holds a yearly event "Quarry days". Among the events is a car show, Burnout contest (i used to compete with my 77 F150 4x4, I have pics of it with giant clouds of smoke, cant figure out how to get em on here) and a truck & tractor pull.

Geez! I don't know what happened here. I usually get e-mails when threads are replied to, so I don't just surf the forums much, but I got an e-mail on this thread today and there's pages of stuff months old!

Late Greetings to all the new guys. I'm glad to see there are some guys from the Brookings area (anything within a 90mile radius IMHO).

That's out west right? The only thing I know about BF is that it's mentioned in one of my favoriate movies (John Wayne's Cowboys).

I have a 1975 F-250 4X4 high boy and my daily driver is a completely original 1976 F-150 4X4 with its original drivetrain engine and paint. My little brother and I still drive the 73-79's to this day!

Welcome!


Dell Rapids isn't too far from here, neither is Watertown...maybe we should plan some sort of Meet N Greet for once the snow melts off?

Just check and there is no request for chapter membership. I will check with FTE staff to see what is going on. To post pictures either load them up in your gallery or use photobucket and load your pictures there and then link them using the [img]url[/img]. The handy thing with photo bucket is it already has the code all you do is copy and paste the code into your post. Good to see you around James.

CENTURIONS, MOTORHOMES AND FORDS, OH MY!

Hello everyone.

I'm in Western South Dakota and have the affliction of Ford ownership.

I just picked up a 1975 F-150 today. Will be parting it out as it has a bad auto tranny and some rust. Keeping the 360 engine and maybe the chrome off the sides, it is in perfect condition. Also the windows are good, any value to pulling them off?

As for what I drive...
Winter: 1988 Ford F-350 Centurion 4door Bronco, 7.3 diesel, auto and four wheel drive.

Summer: 1986 Ford F-350 Centurio 4door Bronco, 6.9 diesel, auto two wheel drive.

Trips (on interstate): 2005 Gulfstream 28' E-450 motorhome, 6.0 diesel, auto.

Trips into rough country: 1979 LazyDaze 18' E-350 motorhome, 460 gas, auto.

Tool truck: 1988 Ford E-350 Ambulance, 6.9 diesel, automatic - Heavy duty running gear, geared very low!

Got a few parts vehicles out back, several broncos including an XLS (black chrome). Both mid 1980's. Also a running chassies 1990 F150 with the 300 six, 5 speed 4wheel drive. 1984 club cab F-250 4x4 fou speed with the 6.9 (bad body) and a 1986 F-250 2wd with the 6.9, 4 speed.

I think that's it.

Wheeeeee!!!!
