Hello FTE Members

Hello FTE Members, I just joined today and don't have a Ford truck but I am searching for a 1957 - 1960 shortbed for a project. I am retired and love working with my hands and was an Army mechanic in Vietnam many years ago. My second car was a 1957 Ford Fairlane 500 followed by a 1960 Falcon, 1960 Sunliner, 1967 F100 and later on a 1988 Thunderbird and 2003 Ford Explorer. We have a 2011 Mustang in the family now here in Northern Arizona. I look forward to hearing from members with tips, advice, etc. God bless and thank you.
