New member saying hello!

Hey Guys I joined the forumn a couple days ago. My truck is a 95 f150 with a 5.0, Just got it a week ago! My previous ride was a 78 LTD that still refuses to die. Hopefully this new (to me) f150 will be as good as my previous ford!

The LTD is rough as a cob but I can still hop in it and go anywhere I want without worring about it. I'll have pics up soon of both fords.

Yes, it does Josh.....

The great part is...We live fairly close....So if we need anything...It's not a lost cause......


Btw...I'll go ahead an post up your trucks info....Just so everyone know whatcha got...

1995 F-150
302/ E4OD-As far as I know....
4x4
standard cab/longbed
Green/Grey

Truck was bought...And we've been working on it....It had the issue with the door handle ripping the sheet metal...I fixed that issue with some Liquid Steel and a body washer...Works perfect now...

We've swapped the plugs, wires, distributor cap/rotary button, new air filter......

And now he's working with the steering column...It has a issue with the bushing being gone.....

Overall, a solid truck...Just needs some TLC.......



And to get rid of that gawd danged LED/Neonlight for a domelight...OMG.....lol

I'm sure he thought it was cool when he did it. Wal-mart shouldn't be allowed to sell things like that, too many young kids get wild ideas about it being cool!!!!!!

Again...You can have my trim piece....lol

And yes...Wal-Mart should have a "Only enter if you're not gonna buy every damned thing in the aisle and make a vehicle look like a total POS/J-Pan ricer" Automotive aisle.......

OR


They could just quit selling that cheesy, chinese made crap....And carry vehicle specific, american made products!

That'd sure as heck simplify things...ALOT.....

Oh what I'd give to not see neons/camoflage/skull stuff all over vehicles....

Tell me about it. i went to 3 different parts stores, looking for a replacement cigar lighter for the dash of my Exploder. I couldn't find one that had just a standard black handle on it, so i chose the lesser of the evils and ended up with one that has an 8 ball design.

I may find a stock looking one in the future...I hope.

Welcome to the Forum, I consider this the best f150 forum out there.
Good choice on the LTD...I used to drive a 1968 LTD with a 390.
