hello all, noob here

hey all, just joined up here. i didn't see an introduction forum so i figured id do it here since ill be using this site primarily for info on my 76 hi boy. im getting ready to start a 6bt swap on it then once all the bugs are worked out ill be tearing the whole thing down to completely rebuild it. i also have a 96 bronco and an 04 marauder so i am truly a ford guy. previous vehicles include a 98 150 and a 91 ranger. heres some pics of my junk.














anyways, ill be around, im sure with questions :burnout:

Wow, I wish my junk was as nice as yours! I love that shade of green, looks real nice. What engine is in the truck right now?

That's a nice big ol' merc you have there too, I've always liked those cars.

thanks man, junk was mainly referring to the hiboy, shes rotting away as we speak but i plan to change that ASAP!

it has a 360 right now, nothing wrong with it, just always wanted a diesel and cant afford or want a new one so why not!

Welcome to the site. The hi boy looks like a great start, good luck, I like the green too. What kind of HP is the marauder putting out?

Looks like a good family of fords. What version of the 4.6 did that come with? I have a good picture of a 6bt swap in a 78/79 pickup. I should ask the guy how many mpg he gets, cause its pretty much his daily driver.

Very nice vehicles. I have a 76 Highboy as well but its more of a beater truck. I also have a nice 77 F-150 that has a fresh green paint job. Welcome to the site.
