Noob here from MT

Hi all just saying hi. I have 2 Ford PUs. 1 is a 78 F150 351M rust bucket. I also just bought a 76 High boy for $100 sight unseen. I am told that the cab and front clip are solid, but the t-case and engine are "trash". I am going to see if it is worth rebuilding the engine, 360, or just finding some thing else to slip in, and the t-case is not a big deal i can rebuild that my self. I will be coming by for some advise as I am working on the 76 as it is going to be my new toy.

Welcome aboard!

Lot's of good info here and knowledgeable folk. Nice deal on the Highboy! It doesn't matter what shape it's in for $100. Look forward to seeing some pics and build. You may have already seen it, but there is a search function located in the top right of the forum page that can be very handy. Especially for learning how to post pics here.

I want to drive a 1973-74 Ford crew cab to Montana and hunt elk, have a successful hunt and have a blast with my friends.

#2 on my bucket list.
