Hello All,


I finally reached the retirement part of my life a couple of years ago and have started to build a couple of vehicles I have always wanted to do. I currently have a 1966 Ranchero that has become my daily driver (still needs a lot of work), a 1972 F100 in the early resto-mod phase, a 1989 F350 diesel crew-cab dually that I bought new, and a 2002 F150 Super Crew.

Hi all.
I just purchased a class c with the 2001 Ford E-450 6.8l V10 Super duty Cut-away chassis.
I was looking for a service manual and came across this site. Hoping to learn and share some stories.

Hello guys. I've been a member for a long time, but posted hardly at all. Quite honestly have no time with daughters growing up and now grandchildren. This forum (mainly dentsides up to now) has been a lot of help. I have two 1978 trucks and just bought a 2008 F250 Lariat 4x4 diesel.
I am sure I will need a lot of help. I hope to fix my gallery since all the pictures fell off a few years ago.
I type with two fingers, so my messages will be concise. I've had lots of experience with Fords and have the blue oval tattood(?) on my arm. 7 old style Broncos, 8 dentside 4x4 trucks, 5 old mustang fastbacks, etc.
Just be patient with me. I will be lurking and learning.

Hi All,
I registered last year and regularly read various posts but haven't posted myself until now. I'm very active in a couple of other classic FoMoCo forums and haven't made time to become active in this one.


I've been a life long Ford man including late model and classic cars, trucks and SUV's. I have owned 6 Bronco's, 2 dents, 3 bumps, 2 Explorers, 4 Expeditions, 3 53-56 F100's and 12 Cougars. I currently own an '13 Explorer, '05 Expedition, 70 Cougar, 69 F250 and a 56 F100. I'm also trying to decide if I want to buy a '15 F150 or wait for a year or two and see what happens with them so I'm spending a lot of time reading in the 2015 F150 Forum to see what everyone has to say.


Anyway, I enjoy reading all the informative posts in the various forums and look forward to contributing as time goes on.

Happy to have my 1965 Ford Truck

Hello All,

This site keeps popping up every time I Google looking for answers on my Ford Truck; so I had to join! I've got a 1965 F250 Long Bed, 352FE engine that runs great. It's in need of a lot of cosmetic work, and some trim, but overall it is pretty solid. I've got technical know-how, but pretty much a novice when it comes to my truck, so happy to be joining a group that seems to have a lot of know-how.

Tom
San Jose, CA

I've been a Ford man since my first vehicle was a Toyota when I was 17 and traded it for Pinto Squire six months later. No laughing about my Pinto but that wagon I put through more mud holes and some most pick up drivers wouldn't have tried. I now own a 99 Explorer and a 2001 Expedition both 4X4. My thinking changed from pick ups while watching my neighbour who owns a 1999 F150 who has a hard Tunnel cover and has never put anything in the box but the spare and groceries, while his oversized daughter tries to get in the back of the extended cab and uses a trailer for hauling things, Just makes no sense Hi everyone. BTW it's 5 posts, it's written at the top of this page.

Just bought a 2007 F-150. Clean, one owner and came here looking for info on a speed warning buzzer.
I look forward to being a member. I live in Texas, in case you didn't look at my profile.
About to set of on a trip to Florida in my 'new' truck.
I like to hunt, fish, shoot stuff, and I'm retired, again.
