another noob...

been part of the forum for a while and thought id introduce myself and my truck!


its a 93 f150 flareside that i pick up from family friend. its got 7 inches of lift, 351w, c6 trans, flowmaster exhaust and a cold air intake. that all thats been done to it (for now) and it currently my daily driver. since i picked it up in feb. ive blown appart a rear end, transmission and a few smaller parts which is understandable as she has about 175,000 miles on her... when i get some of the smaller issues sorted out id like to move on to doin some larger performance mods. this forum has been a great help in building this truck! keep up the work guys!

Welcome. Good looking truck, I love that color. It looks like a feller could get into a bit of trouble in that baby.

If by "Thing above the window" you mean the chrome window visor; it should be aftermarket. I ordered a pair for my truck from advance Auto(I had to screw them on)

I got'em because they were chrome and $10 cheaper than plastics.

Thanks everybody! It's been a great fun truck so far... That amsoil thing is that black plastic cover piece. I pulled it off, primed, sanded, paint, sanded painted again placed sticker and clear coated! It looks really good. I've been happy with amsoil products just expensive.... And the window visors were on it when I bought the truck sorry I can't help on where to get them.
