Welcome to the chapter! We just had a joint NorCal-SoCal get together at Pismo the day before the super bowl. There are a lot of knowledgeable guys in this chapter, and this site is THE place to come for Ford truck info. I used to own a 76 F-250 with the same engine and trans combo you have. I loved it. I am sure you will like it here too.

Thanks for the very warm welcome ... but now adays Paso Robles is not the Paso Robles of old days .. It has gotten more suffistcated......

I would not trade living anywhere else in the whole state.. I know i gotta be living in Paradise cause i get to see everyone else flock to the Central Coast from up North (Fresno,San Jose, Bakersfield,Etc) and from down South ( Los Angeles, San Diego, and San Berandino,Etc).... but hopefully i can join whenever theres another Pismo Beach get together.... if you guys ever have Questions of what else to do around here besides Pismo Beach hit me up and ill give you guys some ideas .....
