Hi everyone. I recently bought a 77 hiboy F250. I found this forum and wanted to say Hi. I am from Beaverton, Oregon. 42 years old and haven't owned a pickup since I was 28 yrs old. Too long, back in the game.

I hope you guys have lots of patience as I will likely have a ton of questions. My truck has lots of issues. I bought it to slowly build and use around the house so to speak. But failed OR DEQ right out of the bat.

Howdy, I was in a similar situation and am still a huge newb. People round here are very cool for the most part.


Oh, and post pics of your truck. We all enjoy seeing other members rides!

 

Welcome to the site there are a lot of people on here to help you out. Same here don't know a lot bout a truck have always had a car an never had nothing this old so its a work in progress. What was your last truck you owned & why this truck what the story behind it?

 

Hi Kalve. I will to figure out how to post a pic.

I have owned many trucks. Last was a 96 Ford F150 4X4. After moving to Oregon I bought an SUV because I wanted cover from all the rain! Always wanted another truck. Did a partial trade with the wife's old jap-scrap toyota celica for this beast.

This truck will also be a work in progress. It has several/many issues. Its quite clean however as lots of western trucks are. I would have liked to pass the DEQ though. That is complicating my situ quite a bit. OR only allows 2, 21 day trip permits per 12 months. The minute I switch the title at the DMV I will need a trip permit to drive home as that invalidates the WA plates that are on it. I'm not sure I have the time or $ to get it fixed in 21 days. Not sure what to do as it is also the law to get title switched over inside of 90 days.

Anyone know a good mechanic familiar with 77 F250 - 460 around Portland/Beaverton?
