Howdy

Just wanted to introduce myself.
I recently purchased a 77 4x4 F250 and found this site a few weeks ago. She needed a bit of attention , mainly leaks and a complete brake system. Has the 400 , C6 , and 205 transfer case. Only needed one u joint , fluid changes on differentials and the case , pinion seals and transfer case seals.
She runs like a top.
Lots of good information here , which is greatly appreciated.

obligatory pics




bought some cool catseye vintage looking clearance lights







Paint is in her future , but right now I am just going to work on basic problems it has , and there are a lot.

X2, There are a lot of good, knowledgeable people here plus a couple of crabby grouches, but everyone here loves their trucks.
Nice truck BTW.

Welcome, thanks for figuring out how to post pics of your truck on your first post.
What's up with your handle? I have a lovely Franchi shotgun.

Nice truck and cool lights! Welcome to FTE

Where did you find those lights? Ive been toying with the idea of adding them but cant decide if i wana drill a hole in the roof which could equal a rust point or leaky spot.

They have a very nice old school look. Made well. They have a galvanized base which makes the ground and inner /outer gaskets. Small dab of silicone should prevent rust and corrosion.
