first time caller......
Hi all, thanx for the greeting.
About me, 46 yr old male, get paid really good money to do dumb ****.
Married forever, coupla kids, one in university, the other a year away.
I want a new bike, and an old truck, the bike is an 04 BMW K12RS (Old man's bike, honest!)
I am now on the hunt for a 73-79 f250, and in fact have found a 76, but, I have some questions..........
I have been reading the posts on here, I will check the VIN, I know it has the Dana 44/60, i will check on the 360/390, and whether it has the divorced 205.
This will be a project truck, the cab and front clip look good, but it will need a box.
Any tips or suggestions from the masses, including junkyards to go hunting in.
Thanx
Darren

Geeze, sorry somehow I missed this. I think we are all looking for a decent box, or at least a decent box at a decent price.
I have access to a boat load of parts. If you are in need of something let me know.

I'm in......
Hi again.
Well I found one, I bought a 76 f250 4x4.
Picked it up in Washington.
Not exactly as advertised, but everytime I look at it, I smile.
I'll post some pics and ask some questions before long
Cheers
