New guy from Kentucky

Hey all,

New member here. Going to be starting a project truck soon. Been a Ford truck fan all my life. In college my dad loaned me his stepside '79 and I fell in love with it (this would have been about '91). It had a straight six and I didn't know anything about maintenance then and never put oil in it...wouldn't quit.

My daily driver is a 2002 F-150 bought in FL when my 2004 F-150 blew up...long story but I'll never buy another 5.4L. This 2002 is a bare-bones work truck but i've put almost 60,000 miles on it in a little over 2 years and it runs like a champ.

My other truck is a 1971 Kaiser-Jeep M35A2. Gotta have something to wrench on!

Project truck in the works, haven't bought anything yet but the wish list is:

1978-1988
crew cab
4x4
300 ci straight 6
manual transmission

Any input appreciated. Hope to learn a lot here. Thanks!

HI there JCKnife. Welcome to FTE. Scrol down to the bottom of the website and you can see your fellow Kentucky owners.

Where at in Kentucky are you hiding? Florence here.

You got that right Micah! 300 is a great motor.
