Hi everyone thank you for the warm welcome . Im 46 an moved to Oregon 4years ago from Alaska and i brought all of my fords with me . The first truck is a 1972 f-250 4x4 . I have performed many modifications to her . here are some pics



















i upgraded the front axle to disc brakes , performed a power steering conversion , upgraded the ignition to the durasparkII an swapped in a 390 instead of the 360 she came with . of course the plow and dump bed with dually d 70 axle in the rear . i had to replace all of the sheet metal and cab because of rust . there is a ton of pics in my garage .so check it out if you want .



The second ford is1978 bronco its a work in progress there is lots of pics in the garage of the bronco build but here are some teasers . the first pic is of the bronco after i put the 4 " lift on and i gave it a small test



and this pic is the start of the rebuild

and here is a pic of where i had to stop for now




just check out the garage for all the pics . there is all the projects for now. The only other ford I own is a 1978 f-350 u haul box truck that i use for storage of my parts. well that all for now your all welcome to ask ????? an thank you again

Akforceten,

Any chance you want to part with the bronco and the engine from the '72? nice rigs you have there would look good with some paint. Welcome aboard!
