New here

I'm new in here, just wanted to let yall know what I am running.... for now. I got a 73' F-100 4x4 long wheel base with 360 4 speed and a D-21 transfer case.It is currently running QR78-15 Buckshot mudders which seem to perform better than any other tire I have had except for my boggers. I plan on restoring it to close to original with some minor upgrades, like a 3G alternator, power steering, disk front brakes, and maybe a NP208. Trying not to go extreme on this one because it was my grandfathers and I don't want it extreme. I think I have a line on another 73' that will eventually go to a lot more capable toy.

x2 if you swapped anything in i'd go for a 205, but i guess any 2 speed case would be better.

buckshots are awesome tires. too bad they do't make the real ones anymore.

Old habits die hard but they do eventually die. Im sure one day I will grow up and heed my numerous warnings but for the time being its just too comical.
